- CLIPBOARD X11 selection by default. When this function is called with @true
- argument, all subsequent clipboard operations will use PRIMARY selection until
- this function is called again with @false.
- On the other platforms, there is no PRIMARY selection and so all clipboard
- operations will fail. This allows to implement the standard X11 handling of the
- clipboard which consists in copying data to the CLIPBOARD selection only when
- the user explicitly requests it (i.e. by selection @c "Copy" menu
- command) but putting the currently selected text into the PRIMARY selection
- automatically, without overwriting the normal clipboard contents with the
- currently selected text on the other platforms.
