This is a known problem that nobody has found a solution for yet. The
"Time" type is some special kind of timestamp. I don't even know how to
get the timestamp for "now". That's why CurrentTime is used. Getting
the timestamp from an event (e.g. a mouse click) is not always possible
(e.g., in an xterm we don't get it) and certainly difficult to pass all
the way from the input to the selection.
Problem with Xvnc is that they stick to the specification instead of
to what applications do in practice.
