Walking to campus, I started to think that this schizophrenic behaviour
might actually be correct according to the X ICCCM.  Ie, you should not
friviously put things in the clipboard.  When you sweep things with
mouse1, they should generally only go in a selection.  You should have
to do something more explicit to stuff them into the clipboard.

I'll check my X manuals later, although maybe there's someone on the
list who knows how these things are supposed to work?  (pretty please :)
