Okay so after playing with this some more I realized that the newline chars were being mangled by GTK but only on application shutdown due to some interaction with the clipboard manager. This PR now also manually provides the textual data to the requesting application instead of using GTK's |

Fixes #981
It seems that newlines were not being mangled on the outbound direction, only on the inbound.By manually retrieving the text and converting to a string we avoid GTK from performing that behavior when getting clipboard contents. This also appears to work on Wayland in both Plasma 5 KWin and Weston.Verification that this behaves correctly on X11 and Wayland would be appreciated :)
