>Description:

Some clients that are sending NONE as property
in their ConvertSelection request:

         ............REQUEST: ConvertSelection
             sequence number: 012c
              request length: 0006
                   requestor: WIN 0260000d
                   selection: <PRIMARY>
                      target: <STRING>
                    property: <NONE>
                        time: CurrentTime
                                 ..............EVENT: SelectionRequest
                                     sequence number: 0208
                                                time: CurrentTime
                                               owner: WIN 02400008
                                           requestor: WIN 0260000d
                                           selection: <PRIMARY>
                                              target: <STRING>
                                            property: <NONE>
                                 ..............ERROR: Atom

Receipt of SelectionRequest with <NONE> property
causes rxvt derivatives to crash with BadAtom error.

ICCCM says, that only obsolete clients should behave like this, and
t recommends that clients owning selection should use
the target atom as the property name.
(see http://tronche.com/gui/x/icccm/sec-2.html#s-2.2)

xterm is handling this, but rxvt and derivatives do not.

Submitted upstream:

>How-To-Repeat:

Paste from rxvt into comms/syncterm or one of the clients
described in:
