Harold,
I think you were working on XFIXES extention to solve #1. Is that another solution?
1) Stop stealing the selection ownership as a means to tell when the clipboard has changed within X.
2) Don't require an X Client connection and try to remove the dependency on Xlib.
The new code solves problem #1, but it does nothing for #2, since we still need an X Client connection to receive the contents of the selection and we still need Xlib to convert the selection into the desired format. I am not sure how long it will take us to remove these two dependencies, so I am going to release the solution to problem #1 in the mean time. I am not sure that we will ever deem it worth the time and effort to solve problem #2.
