thanks for wine

Yes this case is problematic.

Now that the desktop window is owned by the explorer process
OpenClipboard(GetDesktopWindow()) won't work. The selection owner will
become the explorer process but the data will live in the current process.
The result will be that no data will be available to external processes.
The code currently depends on the window belonging to the current process.
Removing this requirement may require moving the clipboard data to the
wineserver. I have to think about this some more. Either way I'm not sure
this case is that important.

One limitation is that we must have a message loop running to handle the X
selection events otherwise other processes won't have access to our
clipboard data. So even if I fix the issue with the wrong process becoming
the selection owner your simple app won't work :-( I don't think it's a
major concern though because most windows app have a message loop.
