That is how Martin understands it should work too, but for some reason the
Lazarus Source Editor is not asking for other formats.

I don't really know Martin's code in MSEide&MSEgui so I don't know how he
implemented it, but as far as I understand, he does follow the ICCCM
guidelines.

Martin, myself and one other person tested under our various Linux distros
- not sure what Windows does.
