UTF8-Update in autocutsel 0.10 doesn't do a proper XA_STRING fallback for older clients

[schlaile]

Hi,

the problem goes like this:

• Older clients (okay, really old clients!), don't support the UTF8 atom in selections
• XtGetSelectionValue therefore fails, because, well surprise, the client doesn't support it.

The solution according to the UTF8_STRING extension is:

• try COMPOUND_TEXT, if that fails, try XA_STRING.
  (see here https://www.irif.fr/~jch/software/UTF8_STRING/UTF8_STRING.text )

The following patch adds at least the later fallback (older version of autocutsel completely relied on XA_STRING and not COMPOUND_TEXT for some reason).

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Kind regards,
Peter
