Subject: X11 selection

Has anyone written code in Lisp that successfully handles the X11 copy-paste
selection.  So far, we have just been setting the x cut buffer using 
      (setf (xlib:cut-buffer display) str)
but this isn't good enough when some other application (like xterm) has
the selection "grabbed" (reverse video).

I can't figure out what to do from the CLX documentation, so I am hoping 
someone has code that already works.

Thanks!
