+Autocutsel tracks changes in the X server's cutbuffer and CLIPBOARD
+selection. When the CLIPBOARD is changed, it updates the cutbuffer.
+When the cutbuffer is changed, it owns the CLIPBOARD selection.
+The cutbuffer and CLIPBOARD selection are always synchronized.
+
+Autocutsel is mostly useful with window managers since most desktop
+environments today include their own clipboard managers.
+If you dont use a display manager like KDM you can use autocutsel
+by adding an entry to your $HOME/.xinitc file using the -fork option.
