Unable to screen capture to clipboard #310

Description

Bug Description

Screenshots saved to clipboard via cosmic-screenshot no longer carry the image/png MIME type on Fedora 43 COSMIC. The clipboard only contains text MIME types, making screenshots unpasteable in any application expecting image data (Slack, web apps, etc.).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Press Print Screen
2. Select "Save to Clipboard" in the interactive UI
3. Check clipboard types: wl-paste --list-types
4. Try pasting anywhere — nothing happens

Expected

image/png should appear in clipboard types.

Actual

Only text/plain;charset=utf-8, UTF8_STRING, text/plain — no image MIME type. wl-paste --type image/png returns exit code 1.

Environment

- OS: Fedora Linux 43 (COSMIC)

- xdg-desktop-portal-cosmic 1.0.11-1.fc43
- cosmic-screenshot 1.0.11-1.fc43
