17 This class implements claiming and owning manager selections, as described
18 in the ICCCM, section 2.8. The selection atom is passed to the constructor,
19 claim() attempts to claim ownership of the selection, release() gives up
20 the selection ownership. Signal lostOwnership() is emitted when the selection
21 is claimed by another owner.
22 @short ICCCM manager selection owner
23
24 This class is only useful on the xcb platform. On other platforms the code is only
25 functional if the constructor overloads taking an xcb_connection_t are used. In case
26 you inherit from this class ensure that you don't use xcb and/or XLib without verifying
27 the platform.
