guint16 *ucs2 = selection_data->data;
int i;
GString *str;

str = g_string_new (NULL);
i = 0;
while (i < selection_data->length / 2)
  {
    g_string_append_unichar (str, ucs2[i]);

    ++i;
  }

return g_string_free (str, FALSE);

Or something like that.

Yes, this means you are fucked and one of the apps is broken. Just
accept not working with the broken one, and file a bug to get it
fixed.
