Thanks for sending in the patch. I applied it with some minor changes:

        * the clipboard atom has to be requested via XInternAtom
        * xstrdup instead of strdup
        * the primary selection could be empty when someone is asking to copy
          to the clipboard
        * the SelectionClear X11 event is now a comment so someone too
          passionate about it can remove the comment


Sincerely,
