Howdy,

I found myself wondering how hard it would be to make an X client
which plays nice with select-and-paste (as seen by all the other X
clients out there).  The answer seems to be "quite hard", but here's a
step along the road: a translation of some C test code, yielding a
proof-of-concept clipboard client.  Pastes both to and from the client
work: a paste of text to the client yields printed messages to the
lisp's standard output, and pastes while the client owns PRIMARY
(left-click in the window) cause a silly piece of text to be pasted.
