Hey,

I think you were aware of that issue even before the latest clipman release, but it's still not fixed so...
Basically, wether or not “sync selections” and “ignore selections” are checked, selections are never pasted once they're de-selected (using X paste).

If “sync selections” is checked, then one can't paste them using ctrl+V, but I don't want that option, so basically I can't paste what I select.

The behavior I'm expecting is:

- selection will be stored in the X buffer (even after application dies)
- ctrl+c will be store in GTK+ buffer and X buffer (even after application dies)
- middle click will paste the X buffer
- ctrl+v will paste the GTK+ buffer
- both buffers are stored in the history
- selecting an item in the history puts it in GTK+ and X buffer

And especially, I'm expecting that selecting something *wont* overwrite the GTK+ buffer (unless I'm selecting it manually in history)

I think it's the standard behavior when no clipman is present (except for the history part and the “survive to application end” part)

Cheers,
