I don't know the X internals of it, but if I run two kwrites on different
computers, but displaying on the same X server :0, I can copy from one to the
other. If I have two kwrites running on the same computer, but displaying on
different X servers, even if one is merely an Xnest in the other, I cannot copy
between them.
