-The xclipboard command emulates the traditional Macintosh style clipboard by
-claiming ownership of the CLIPBOARD selection and answering any requests for
-its value. When it loses the selection, it immediately asks the new owner for

-ownership of the CLIPBOARD. This way the clipboard contents can persist after
-the original application has exited.
