The goal is to always allow the internal clipboard integration manager 
(-clipboard) to connect to the X Server so that little tricks like 
sleep, xhost, etc. won't be needed to use the clipboard integration 
manager with XDMCP.  Yes, we are basically aiming for what you were 
asking about.  The primary difference is that xwinclip (as a stand-alone 
app) will not really be needed anymore.
