Re: XWin -clipboard and xterm focus

["Peter Wisnovsky" <peter at wisnovsky dot net>]

I updated, and it seems to have removed all the files associated with
xwinclip, but not replaced them with any working functionality in XWin. So
now I have NO working clipboard support after this update. The focus problem
still exists as well. Sigh.
