Application authors should follow the following guidelines to get correct behavior:
I've read this a lot, and believe it or not, this is exactly how we (and Motif) works. Or, is supposed to work. Early versions of Qt and GTK tried to fuse the selection and clipboard into one concept, but we never have.
This doc is most for toolkit implementors. Applications that sit on top of qt/gtk/motif typically will not deal with this stuff directly, unless they code new widgets.
The devil's in the details, though. Klipper's "Prevent empty selection" means that klipper will occasionally take over on the selection in order to make GTK/Motif/Emacs act more like Qt in respect to text selection policy. It does this when it thinks it's unused. (Note I say "thinks" here, as it can be wrong.) Disabling that may help.
