WebkitGtk HTML Editing not accustomed to UTF-16 clipboard.

When paste rich text to editablearea,
(like gmail Rich formatting editor, or any application use WebkitGtk as html
editor)
WebkitGtk assumed that SelectionData from gtk clipboard is always UTF-8
encoding.
But ,in fact,
some applications like FireFox put SelectionData for clipboard use UTF-16
encoding, 
so rich text markup garbled.


To reproduce:

0. Launch FireFox to browse http://www.apple.com

1. Copy that text or picture from FireFox page

2. Launch a WebkitGtk browser (Midori or GtkLauncher) and open
http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/ ,
it can see a rich formatting editor

3. Paste in the rich formatting editor

Results: pasted contents of editor is garbled markup
