The patch handles that situation fine. Hey, I just had an idea! I wonder if I could convince my X server that the "atom" for the CLIPBOARD and PRIMARY properties is the same value, then no apps would use two different selections anymore and I wouldn't have to try and keep track of them. Might need a new AtomAlias X server extension for something as nefarious as that :-).
