xbrlapi sees all clipboard changes properly, it seems. It just does not seem
to update X clipboard correctly.

Attached is an xbrlapi output. I did the following things:

- Started X
  - This starts xbrlapi, orca and brltty
  - Then 'termite' is started (a terminal emulatro)
  - Awesome window manager is started

- I started LibreOffice Writer
  - I tried to paste with CTRL-V. It did not work.
  - I tried to paste with BRLTTY, it did not work.
    (BRLTTY does not seem to read clipboard contents from BrlAPI when started)
  - I selected some text and cut it to the X clipboard with CTRL-X
    - Now I could paste this text with CTRL-V or with BRLTTY
  - I switched to a VT and selected some text with BRLTTY
    - Now I can paste this text with BRLTTY
    - But I cannot paste the text with CTRL-V

Also, orca announces all X clipboard events. When I select text with BRLTTY,
it does not announce any clipboard changes.
