I'll attach a file, which is a version of the script I'm working on.  It's 
based on /etc/qubes-rpc/qubes.OpenURL.  In addition to opening URLs, it takes 
the first line of stdin and uses `xsel` to put that line into the clipboard.  
It doesn't work.  If you change `xsel -v`, you'll see it gets the error I've 
described in the first post.
