Re: capture problem

[Jeff Horn <jrhorn424@gmail.com>]

Steps so far: Clear pasteboard by killing some text. Confirm that
org-capture creates capture buffer successfully when pasteboard
contains text. To reproduce bug:

1) Find an image online in a modern graphical browser on a modern, GUI
OS. Linux should do (I'm using Snow Leopard)
2) Right-click the image, select "copy image" or similar.
3) Return to emacs, and visit any buffer.
4) Call org-capture. Press the key indicating the template you'd like to use.
5) Observe the mini-buffer complains that the "pastboard does not
contain valid data"

Again, I'm using **Aquamacs** on Snow Leopard. Can anyone else confirm
using a different emacsen/os combination?

I've downloaded the patched org-capture.el you've sent, and pressed
`C-u C-c C-x !`. I've observed the minibuffer reloading uncompiled
source and stating that I'm using org-mode 7.1trans "dirty". When I
try to reproduce the bug, the minibuffer again complains, but I see no
backtrace or additional errors in the Messages buffer.
