I have tried to implement the changes needed so that we receive owner  
change events in the x_selection class, so that the enter/leave events  
aren't needed for changeCount detection.  For some reason it doesn't  
quite work as documented, or I wasn't using it the right way.

There's some code towards the end of x-selection.m that was supposed  
to be called, if the owner: is non-nil in declareTypes:owner:, but it  
doesn't seem to work, i.e. I couldn't get it to be called/dispatched,  
so I ended up making the owner:nil -- just in case.  The method  
pasteboardChangedOwner: x-selection.m was originally in the old code  
we based this on, but it didn't seem to be used, or run when I started  
on pbproxy/xpbproxy either.

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSPasteboard_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/NSObject/pasteboardChangedOwner:

Perhaps there is an event we need to explicitly listen for, or the  
NSPasteboard has changed?
