This depends. Selecting in Firefox clears the selection in Konsole,

SelectionClear event, and I'd propose we should do the same. Why
should selecting in Firefox clear my carefully made selection in LyX?
Because then, when you paste in konsole you cannot predict whether the
string will come from firefox or lyx?
But that's not true---or, perhaps, we're talking past each other. I
would expect the one I pasted to be the last one I copied, and that's
what happens if I select text in Firefox and Thunderbird, both of which
are ignoring the SelectionClear events that X is apparently sending.
What I'm talking about is simply highlighting---selecting, in that
sense, not also copying. So if you highlight some text in one konsole
window and then highlight some more text in another, the highlight in
the first vanishes. But the clipboard doesn't change---it doesn't affect
what gets pasted.
Here's what I think is happening. Selecting some text in one konsole app
is clearing the selected text in the other, so a SelectionClear event is
being triggered. Presumably, this is going to ALL aware applications,
and that would include the konsole app itself, right? So maybe the event
to which we're responding is one we triggered ourselves. But how do we
know that?
