This is gclip_select, a small program that allows you to re-select from the text
lines that were selected at one time or another as the X Primary Selection. This
is useful when, in X Windows, if you have selected something using the left
mouse button (as in the convention of the X Windows System) and you later
select something else but want to get back to the earlier selection.

Thus this program allows you to quickly switch between frequently copied texts
for pasting. When you select some text you will notice gclip_select window adds
the newly selected text to the list. And you can choose any earlier selection in
the list window to make it the X11 primary selection again; you can then past it
using the middle mouse button.

This program is written in Vala and requires gtk+2.0, glib 2.8 (or above) and
libgee 1.0 (or above), but you can build it following the usual GNU convention,
that is,

./configure --prefix=<install dir> 
make 
make install

to run it from the command line type

Changes: 
     Version 0.5, 20110504:     
     work around the gtk+ behavior which sets the X primary selection for each
     character as you drag-select; now  gclip_select only inserts a new X primary
     selection which was set at least 0.9 sec ago; fix a bug where the X
     selection ownership was by force transferred to this program upon making a new
     selection which was not necessary
     
     Version 0.4, 20110418: 
Usability enhancements: proper enabling and disabling depending on states,
content table sync to list model change, scrolling to the newly inserted
selection
     
	 Version 0.3, 20110417: 
put the selection list in a scroll window to enable better user management of
the selection contents; also two buttons to allow the remove of one selection or
all the selections from the selection list window
	 
	 Version 0.2, 20110408: add check for duplicated selections, to avoid adding
		duplicated entries
	 
	 Version 0.1, 20110407: initial release
