   and, don't forget, X11 not only supports a "CLIPBOARD" selection, but also   
   supports both "PRIMARY"   
   and "SECONDARY" selection (and even an arbitrary number of application   
   specific selections).   
   Additionally, it offers 8 "cut buffers" (CUTBUFFER0 through CUTBUFFER7) for   
   the same purposes.   
   (see https://x.org/releases/X11R7.6/doc/xorg-docs/specs/ICCCM/icccm.html and   
   related)   
      
   That means that, in testing in X11, the tester would have to test at least 11   
   different   
   "clipboard" combinations.
