The behavior is undefined if a STRING is not in the 'Host Portable
Character Set', but it's not the X server which causes the problem, it's
the owner of the selection which converts it to a STRING from UTF-8. I'd
guess that most apps use iconv (ick) for the conversion. Some apps give
you a '?', some give \xXXXX, \uXXXX, or the like.
Incidentally, snarfer is still broken in this manner.
