#6 Loading Image to clipboard seems to fail

[tnfnk]

running xpaint-2.7.8.1 on Linux (OpenSuSE 10.0) I tried
to load an image from file to the clipboard. According
to strace that file
is opened and read, but the paste entry in the edit menu
stays disabled. Pasting that image does not work.

Studying the file "graphic.c" the function
"loadClipboard" seems never to be called.

Copying from a loaded image and then pasting works.
