jochen 493651776c lemurs, clipmenu: X keeps its resources, and an image in the clipboard is never read as text
X reset twice during the session start and threw away the resources xrdb had just merged, so
xterm came up in the bitmap fixed font. clipmenud's one-second xsel read of a screenshot was
killed mid-transfer and left the image's owner hung, so every paste after it hung.
