[Bug-XBoard] xboard is not following the modern consensus on how to use the available clipboards.

[Carlo Wood]

Hi,

xboard is using the PRIMARY clipboard.

This makes it work badly with other, more modern applications.
Please read http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/ClipboardsWiki
for details and rationale.

The correct way would be use the 'CLIPBOARD' clipboard and
*only* the CLIPBOARD clipboard to copy/paste positions.

Regards,

PS I think that there are many short comings in the current
   chess 'standards' to exchange chess data. I'm seeking to
   start a discussion about this topic. Would you be
   interested? If so, under what email address can I reach
   you about that?
