Thanks for the suggestion. I'd actually experimented with the following similar code:

import tempfile
from gi.repository import Gtk, Gdk
clipboard = Gtk.Clipboard.get(Gdk.SELECTION_CLIPBOARD)
img = clipboard.wait_for_image()

if img:    
    temp_file = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile().name
    img.save(temp_file, 'jpeg')

but I got a weird error message for img.save() that I couldn't resolve:

AttributeError: 'Pixbuf' object has no attribute 'save'
Error: 'Pixbuf' object has no attribute 'save'

even though img is a Gtk 3.0 gi.repository.GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf object, which definitely should have a save attribute.
