OK, suppose it works. Then there is still the problem that this is supposed 
to be a cleanup, but obfuscates the code for somebody who knows X 
selection better. It is standard X terminology to request or clear a 
selection, so a sensible cleanup IMO would be to rename selectionRequested 
to requestSelection and selectionLost to clearSelection.

The clipboard is a bit different, there we have an abstraction over windows 
and unix clipboards, so we don't need to follow either terminology too 
closely.

IMO you need X knowledge if it should be really a cleanup and not arbitrary 
code shuffling around.
