I'm having trouble using "xselection", one of the contributed x clients,
to set the CLIPBOARD selection, to xview's satisfaction.

For example I run "xselection CLIPBOARD test", to make "test" the shelf
selection. The Sun OW2 file manager, clipboard is happy with it, at least
"test" shows up in its clipboard. If I write my own trivial xview client
"test" comes back properly from "selection_ask", and looks no different
then what comes back from a OW copy.

However, if I try and paste it into a text window, only the first letter
"t" shows up. Worse yet, if I try to paste into a panel text item, the
client dies with a segment error.

Any ideas what the problem is.
