"sel" always points to the selected object (its index can be
still accessed but is not displayed if it is selected, because
you can easily determine which index relates to "sel"). If "sel"
is displayed, but no client exists, then it is simply a bug.
"sel" and no index should be displayed if no client exists. But
as far as I tested the behavior, it is not possible to have
non-existing client namespace in /ws, except if you call wmiir
from a tty in /tmp/ directly accessing the wmii socket (and in
such a case the /ws/sel does not provide any clients inside).
