The function call added in patch 2 to clear any existing selection
when putting stuff in the cut buffer (or is it the other way around, I
always get the selection and the cut buffer mixed up) seems to be a
little overzealous -- simply moving the cursor using the mouse left
button clears the selection.  This is a bit of a nuisance.
