Well, that wasn't the goal, was it? :)
The first part of this problem is that I need more detailed information
from people about what apps are causing problems. In fact, I really
need a package that is freely available on debian unstable that I can
install and have an easily reproducible test case with. I'll leave that
legwork to the folks affected by this since I have been unable to
reproduce it until now.
We may just find out that the X app that owned the selection no longer
has the data and that we need to clear the bit that says X owns the
clipboard contents. The apps having trouble may be notifying us of
their relinquished ownership in a way that is either not handled by us
or not reliably handled by us.
Waiting for a test case,
Harold
