A lot of useful features require clipboard access and monitoring
without having a keyboard focus, e.g. clipboard action (klipper[1] and
some download agents), command line access (IPython's %paste magic).
This patch sends out selection events to all clients when the
selection owner changes no matter whether the client has a focus or
not in order to support these features.
Clipboard managers are pretty specialized clients, and you usually
only run at most one of them in your session - why confuse all other
clients with the extra events ?
Especially because it sounds like it will be sent to minimized or
otherwise-hidden clients.
I think a request that says "send me the next change the the clipboard"
would work and match how Wayland is designed more than an api where the
client turns "send me clipboard changes" on/off.
