I've written a qrexec script which, among other things, attempts to place 
something into the clipboard, using `xsel`.

xsel fails, with error: "xsel: Conversion refused"

Attempting to troubleshoot, I've learned that `xsel -o` can show the contents 
of the clipboard, but `xsel` fails to set the clipboard.  Both `xsel -v` and 
`xsel -b -v` fail with the "conversion refused" messages.  `xsel` works fine 
when I run it from a terminal.  The error occurs only when running via qrexec.

For some context, if you're interested... I recently became aware of a password 
manager with some interesting features: 
https://github.com/renatoathaydes/go-hash.  I'd like to modify it, so that it 
both opens a URL in a VM, and places a password in that VM's clipboard.  I've 
got most of that working, except that I can't get the password into the 
clipboard, because xsel fails with "conversion refused".
