I just use it to get hold of the text that is in the current
selection, which then gets transferred onto the system clipboard. I
assume there is an alternative way of doing this, otherwise none of
the frontends could support a clipboard?

I think I use it in context_menu.c too, but again that's purely to get
the text contained in a selection.

So if I can do that, I'm happy. :)
