maybe. guessing probably. i want it to take contents of x primary
selection or clipboard and get it into emacs using a capture template
item. whether this requries oprg-protocl, idk.
so basically fluxbox menu calls some trivial command which invokes
capoture on my already-existing capture template such as the one that
i already use for hte firefox org-capture extension to use.

while such features would be great, my needs are modest i think. i
would be delighted with just plain text.
but if possible i'd want it to be inserted as utf-8 even if the
terminal or deluge or whatever uses some different encoding.
