--- Comment #5 from Hallvord R. M. Steen <hsteen@mozilla.com> ---
Keeping this functionality is probably a good idea, however the way it
currently works seems a bit dodgy - the main use case for this seems to be
stuff like apps shutting down and desiring to clear the clipboard because they
wrote a lot of content or something semi-secret there. For such use cases, it
doesn't make sense to expose the functionality only inside events.. :-/

As written and summarized this bug is a wontfix though.

Also, I'm not sure if being able to delete specific types from the clipboard is
really necessary. We'd be able to simplify things if we dropped that feature..
