XCB剪贴板文件粘贴异常：仅信使可用，桌面/文件管理器失效

你的程序能在Telegram等IM软件中粘贴文件，但桌面/文件管理器无响应，核心原因是X11桌面文件管理器依赖特定剪贴板格式识别文件操作，而你的代码仅实现了通用的text/uri-list和application/octet-stream，未适配桌面环境专属格式。

关键缺失点 #

1. 未支持GNOME/KDE等桌面环境的文件操作专用剪贴板目标
2. 未处理XCB_SELECTION_CLEAR事件，程序会一直阻塞在事件循环
3. 存在内存泄漏：xcb_intern_atom_reply的返回值未释放

关键修改说明 #

• 添加桌面环境专属目标：支持x-special/gnome-copied-files（GNOME系文件管理器）和application/x-kde-cutselection（KDE系），让文件管理器识别这是文件操作而非普通文本
• 区分复制/剪切：通过is_cut参数控制GNOME格式前缀和KDE剪切标记
• 修复内存泄漏：每个xcb_intern_atom_reply后调用free释放内存
• 处理SELECTION_CLEAR事件：当其他程序获取剪贴板所有权时自动退出事件循环
• 添加UTF8_STRING备用：兼容仅支持文本粘贴的场景

调用示例：复制文件用set_clipboard(conn, window, "/path/to/your/file", 0)，剪切用set_clipboard(conn, window, "/path/to/your/file", 1)。
