The xforms clipboard. Things are a bit of a mess because xforms only
provides primary support not clipboard support. They are supposed to act
differently in a "real" X application (clipboard for control-X, primary
for "select region").
I believe this is working as best as it can at the moment. I don't
understand the comment above, surely cutClipboard is only called once.
