Ouch. Yes, this is most likely caused by the change
“Ensure that only one of PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD is owned by xterm
at a given time” which not only does not fix my problem but also
causes this to no longer work.

On MirBSD, I have select-end(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) for ~Shift<BtnUp>,
and I guess this will then also no longer work.

Tom, please do revert that change, as it’s bogus *and* does not
address my initial problem (not being able to have xterm hold
*both* CLIPBOARD *and* PRIMARY but with *different* content).

Thanks,
