Hmm - just agreeing to use a particular selection isn't really
enough. We have to agree on what format the data is sent. Sending a
PIXMAP id isn't really the obvious format - granted that these days,
most people use truecolor, but not so long ago, pseudocolor was
common, and just a pixmap on its own is not enough, since you also
need a palette.
