Copy/Paste Graphic from Clipboard in MSWin
------------------------------------------

                 Key: SQ-881
                 URL: http://tracker.squeakland.org/browse/SQ-881
             Project: squeakland
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: etoys-win
            Reporter: Darius Clarke
             Fix For: etoys 4.1.1


I've tried to copy and paste a graphic (print screen for example) from the Windows clipboard buffer into eToys 4.1.1 in both Win7 and XP. 

I get a walkback that ExtendedClipboardWinInterface doesn't understand #openClipboard called from #readAvailableFormats .... which is true that the method isn't in the image. 

On Mac and Linux, the ExtendedClipboard plugin does the work, no FFI is needed. But that has not been implemented for Windows yet.

I suggest adding a pop-up error message to that effect or just catching and consuming the error when running in windows. I can easily imagine a use case of someone using eToys on windows trying to paste a graphic.
