[issue14777] Tkinter clipboard_get() decodes characters incorrectly

[Thomas Kluyver]

Thomas Kluyver <takowl at gmail.com> added the comment:

As requested, the second version of the patch (x11-clipboard-try-utf8):

- Caches the windowing system per object. The tk call to find the windowing system is made the first time clipboard_get or selection_get are called without specifying `type=`.
- If using UTF8_STRING throws an error, it falls back to the default call with no type specified (i.e. STRING).
