The one other thing that I notice that I think is related to this is that in some applications (the one I see it in is ddd when compiled with lesstif), the selection does not even hold long enough to select it. If I click and drag (while still holding down the mouse button) the selection disappears. If I try to paste, my buffer has been deleted. I also have a related problem when I want to get a menu relating to an area that is larger than the default area. Normally, I would select the larger area and click (or right click) on it to get the appropriate menu. I can never do that. Does anyone have any ideas?

Derek,
Yes, we know.
This is not an easy problem, search the mailing list archives for more details.
No one is working on this problem at the moment and we appreciate your offer to help. You might be interested in the XFIXES extension, which almost made it into the XFree86 4.3.0 release but was pulled. It included a mechanism to notify clients when the clipboard contents changed. We can either use this extension to get notification, or we can insert our own hooks into the portion of the X Server that handles the clipboard. Either way, I am beginning to think that providing clipboard integration via an X Client is not the correct way to address this problem.
Ask any questions on the list, I will be glad to assist where I can.
Harold
