Hi Rostislav,

I changed this to ‘and/or’, since ‘i.e.’ would imply that the selection
and clipboard are the same.
While xsel does also support the clipboard, it won't touch it by default
unless you explicitly pass the ‘--clipboard’ option. Only the (primary)
‘--selection’ is the default. After all, it's xsel, not xclip.
I also added the modified fields to the commit message like so:
* gnu/packages/xdisorg.scm (xsel)[synopsis, description]: …
and pushed to master as 4528fd6bbeed097d7c6871dbc5268502444755cd.
Thanks!
