Helo!


 > What are you doing that makes you think it isn't working?
The testcases were:
- I have an XSession to a Redhat Linux with KDE desktop.
- I have two terminals opened: Konsole and xterm
- xwinclip(test6 or yours) is started
- the copy/paste operation from an xterm to a normal
   windows application works fine. Sometimes I must to make
   a click outside the xterm window, otherwise your version
   does not copy the selection. Test6 has not this bug.
- the copy/paste operation from _Konsole_ to a normal
   windows application does never work.
- the copy from a normal windows application to a _terminal
   window_ (Konsole or xterm) works fine almost every time.
   (see below)
- test6 does not clear the selection in Konsole, but it
   clears the selection in the xterm window. After the selection
   in Konsole, the selection is not cleared either in xterm nor
   in Konsole and test6 doesn't work any more.
- the copy/paste operation from/to _a terminal window_
   (Konsole or xterm) from/to _another terminal window_
   (Konsole or xterm) works perfect every time.

 > From what I can tell (quick research) it uses CLIPBOARD and PRIMARY.
Sorry, this I don't understand, what this sentence means.
Can you explain it?
