valgrind warnings

Details 
I thought I filed this before, but I can't find it.

I think I saw these warnings when trying to copy from the URL bar while my system was slowed down by a compile, etc., although I might have been pasting accidentally.

In any case, the GTK2 clipboard code pretty clearly tries to access a pointer to a variable that was on the stack well after it was on the stack.  If it were to happen while the stack is deeper (which I haven't yet seen, although valgrind wouldn't catch that, I don't think), it could corrupt memory.
