Subject: [PATCH] Show "Paste to N" on every selection, disabled until
 something is copied

It appeared only once settings had been copied this session, so with an
empty clipboard nothing on the selection bar said pasting onto a
selection was possible. It is one of the things a selection can have
done to it, like filing it in a collection, and now sits with them
beside Presets.
