Yes, it is, at least as I read L.2.6.1.3 "The CLIPBOARD Selection" in
the ICCCM.

I suppose if somebody works *really really really really* hard they
could come up with a really odd interpretation of L.2.6.1.1 "The PRIMARY
Selection", along the lines of my other message, to try to rationalize
the use of the PRIMARY selection for a clipboard, although one would
then have to rationalize ignoring L.2.6.1.3 as well.

So is getting the folks at TrollTech to follow the spec, or getting the
KDE folks to pressure the folks at TrollTech to follow the spec,
something that freedesktop.org can address?
