X selection is application global, hence dealing with it should be
refactored into lyx_gui class :
lyx_gui::getClipboard(BufferView & bv);
lyx_gui::putClipboard(string const & str);
What's the problem with doing this ?
xforms may indeed need a work area for handling the get/put, but this
can be any work_area at all, since it's not workarea specific. Such a
requirement should be behind the frontends firewall IMHO.
