I was unable to reproduce that (on Debian/bullseye) -- I just get nil
back from
(x-get-selection-internal 'CLIPBOARD 'UTF8_STRING nil nil)
no matter whether Gimp is running or not (after choosing Edit -> Copy).
In any case -- I'm not sure there's anything we can do on the Emacs
side... except perhaps change the error message? "Couldn't convert"
isn't really informative. "Couldn't get selection from selection
owner", perhaps?
