What passes as a “fix” for #901249 broke things in a different manner.
I’m filing as a new bug instead of reopening, though, because the
original report was “behaviour does not match documentation”, and this
one is “behaviour does not match expectation, documentation silent”.

Same scenario as in #901249.

I have two words on the command line, “foo” and “bar”.

I wish to have “foo” in CLIPBOARD and “bar” in PRIMARY.

I select “foo” with Shift. Now I can paste it with ^V in
a GUI application, but not with middle-click. Okaaay…

Then I select “bar” without Shift. I can paste it with
middle-click, but ^V does not paste “foo” any more.

Then I select “foo” with Shift again. Now middle-click
is dead again.

This is *not* why I have multiple clipboards in X11 and
go through pains of mapping them distinctly in xterm!

Patch #338 - 2018/12/09

	revert the change which prevented concurrent ownership of different
	selection targets, and instead modify selection storage so that
	different concurrent requests for different selection targets will be
	stored/retrieved independently (Debian #901249).
