More context: by "handles this" I meant the CLIPBOARD_MANAGER property.

See:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/hw/xquartz/pbproxy/x-selection.m?h=xorg-server-1.4-apple

It's supposed to return FALSE, and print a message to stderr in the  
case of the CLIPBOARD_MANAGER being already owned, or lost.  It looks  
correct, and it's handling the selection of CLIPBOARD_MANAGER being  
lost correctly, as far as I can tell.

The CLIPBOARD_MANAGER is intended to prevent 2 clipboard managers from  
causing havoc like this.
