A window manager should acquire ownership of the WM_Sx selection. Handling this properly allows us to replace existing window managers and be replaced by other window managers.

To set expectations: I will not implement this, so I am relying on a patch here. Submit to http://cr.i3wm.org/ please.

Just an FYI to anyone taking a shot at this, it is well worth looking into Openbox's source to see how this can be done.

Another hint could be the following commits. (Note that I know that awesome is not confirming to the spec, I don't see the point in jumping through all the necessary hoops just to get a current timestamp that can be used for acquiring the selection, so I just used XCB_CURRENT_TIME):
