This prepares for target type conversion of specified window selection.
You'll need to copy to the buffer anyway. So you probably wanted to
suggest we should not forget XSetSelectionOwner() to current, the
SelectionNotify event and the correct handling of this?
Excerpt from XSetSelectionOwner(3X11)
NAME
XSetSelectionOwner, XGetSelectionOwner, XConvertSelection
- manipulate window selection
DESCRIPTION
The XSetSelectionOwner function changes the owner and
last-change time for the specified selection and has no
effect if the specified time is earlier than the current
last-change time of the specified selection or is later
than the current X server time. Otherwise, the last-
change time is set to the specified time, with CurrentTime
replaced by the current server time. If the owner window
is specified as None, then the owner of the selection
becomes None (that is, no owner). Otherwise, the owner of
the selection becomes the client executing the request.
If the new owner (whether a client or None) is not the
same as the current owner of the selection and the current
owner is not None, the current owner is sent a Selection-
Clear event. If the client that is the owner of a selec-
tion is later terminated (that is, its connection is
closed) or if the owner window it has specified in the
request is later destroyed, the owner of the selection
automatically reverts to None, but the last-change time is
not affected. The selection atom is uninterpreted by the
X server. XGetSelectionOwner returns the owner window,
which is reported in SelectionRequest and SelectionClear
events. Selections are global to the X server.
XSetSelectionOwner can generate BadAtom and BadWindow
errors.
XConvertSelection requests that the specified selection be
converted to the specified target type:
o If the specified selection has an owner, the X server
sends a SelectionRequest event to that owner.
o If no owner for the specified selection exists, the X
server generates a SelectionNotify event to the
requestor with property None.
The arguments are passed on unchanged in either of the
events. There are two predefined selection atoms: PRIMARY
and SECONDARY.
XConvertSelection can generate BadAtom and BadWindow
errors.
