Hi Andy,

If it's an issue with the X selection, adding a "setopt
localoptions xtrace" to the get-x-clipboard, set-x-clipboard,
push-x-cutbuffer may help find out what's going on.

Manipulation of the X selection is done via the xclip or xsel
commands. Those need to connect to the X server. They also try
and own the CLIPBOARD selection. I don't remember the details
but I think the way they get it is that they ask it from the
previous owner.
