[scribus] Saving pictures from clipboard

[samps okholm]

I'm sitting on the fence here....

I'm with a.l.e., getting the graphics tethered to the .sla file is great.
Embedding binary content in anything opens up a whole new can of worms
tho.....
I can imagine all sorts of malice... Scripts that get embedded and do local
damage, pictures that are infection vectors for malware, simple buffer
overruns, race conditions where encoded graphics need decoding for some or
other purpose... but maybe it's just me...   maybe I am as paranoid as my
doctor says....
