🚀 go-pugleaf

All methods relating to requesting the value of the primary
selection to do a paste operation are currently unimplemented 
(SelectionManager::retrieve, SelectionManagerRep::notify, etc.).

I subclassed from SelectionManager and SelectionManagerRep
and defined the necessary methods, and got it all to work but
only after MAJOR hacking to get my classes in place (I had to
get my SelectionManager subclass to create my SelectionManagerRep
subclass instead of the default, and I had to get Window to
call notify on my subclass since notify is not virtual, etc).
All this because we cannot afford to modify the InterViews
source directly (we don't want to have to make modifications
with every release), so I have subclass to add the functionality.

If all the missing code will not be in place by IV3.1-final, could you
somehow make it possible for us to do it ourselves?  Some
suggestions include making the rep pointer protected so
that subclasses can replace the rep with another; making
SelectionManagerRep::notify (and request) be virtual; and
provide some way to add a SelectionManager subclass to
Display's SelectionList.
