I thought about it more, and clipboard operations still require an IPC to retrieve the available types. In the spirit of keeping it consistent (what I'm trying really hard to do with this patch is unify copy-and-paste and drag-and-drop things that can be shared), I think it's best to leave retrieving the types as an IPC. I'll make the WebKit side a bit cleverer and cache the results from the first IPC if no one has any objections.
