There is the session-leader window. Not designed for this, but could do
the job. On the other hand, creating a new selection-holding window is
not much job. For multidisplay you actually need one window per
display, so the session leader isn't really appropriate. That is
display as in X11 Display*, not display as in multiscreen.
