It seems that clipboard support is described in the ICCCM (Inter-Client
Communication Conventions Manual):
http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/docs/xwindows/ICCCM.pdf
Page 11 of the main document section (page 16 of 70 total) mentions
selection, cutting, copying, pasting, and the clipboard. I'll read the
ICCCM when I have time, but others with more clipboard experience could
probably implement clipboard support before I can... :)
