In selection.c we find:
	XConvertSelection(dpy,select,typ,prop,win,CurrentTime);
In the ICCCM we find the following
	"Clients should not use CurrentTime for the time field of
	ConvertSelection requests.  They should use the timestamp of
	the event that caused the request to be made."

My question is, why does epoch use CurrentTime here?  Shouldn't it use
the timestamp of either the keystroke or the click that caused the
selection request to be made?  Alternatively, shouldn't it use the
timestamp of the last event that was processed?

Granted, Xt handles this case correctly, but other toolkits do not (OI
is one example).
