last paragraph... A remaining somewhat odd thing about X selections is that exiting the app you did a cut/copy from removes the cut/copied data from the clipboard, since the selection protocol is asynchronous and requires the source app to provide the data at paste time. The solution here would be a standardized protocol for a "clipboard daemon" so that apps could hand off their data to a daemon when they exit. Or alternatively, you can run an application such as xclipboard which constantly "harvests" clipboard selections.
