xwinclip test 6 hacked to leave selection untouched

Robert,

In an intial test of your patch, I noticed that your patch, after the 
first selection, only tends to grab every other selection that I make on 
both the Windows clipboard and the X clipboard.  For example, I go into 
emacs under X and select a region, then I go to emacs under Windows and 
paste the selection with the middle mouse button; the first time it 
works fine; now I select some text in emacs under Windows (which causes 
the selection in emacs under X to be unhighlighted) and go to paste it 
in emacs under X, but instead of getting the new selection coming from 
emacs under Windows I instead get the same old selection from emacs 
under X.  Now, if I go back to emacs under Windows and select something 
else, then when I go to emacs under X it pastes the correct selection.

This process repeats and it always seems that every-other selection is 
gotten but that the ones in between are never picked up.

Any ideas?

Harold
