What I am really trying to do is get text from stdout into an email (like this 
one) using something like xclip.   seems xclip uses one clipboard, and 
Thunderbird (and OOWriter) uses another.

you can also see this with gnome-terminal, vi - Shift+Insert and right click + 
paste have different clipboards.
