Alright. I'm not too familiar with toolkits, so could you explain why
toolkits need to access the selection at arbitrary times (specifically

I sure hope you don't mean keyboard focus, right?
There must be the ability to cause a paste by using a pointing device
without moving the keyboard focus. An obvious reason is for drag& drop,
but is also often used for middle-mouse paste in a point-to-type
environment, and likely wanted if there are alternative input devices.
However requiring that the pointing device be above one of the client
surfaces and an actual click-like event (rather than a move) is probably
ok. I believe this is what you mean by "assign focus", right?
Don't forget keyboard-only operation if you want to go whole hog ;-)
