If every other program uses Ctrl-V for paste, but one program doesn't

Or, the worse, if every other program can cut and paste attributed text, and my program pastes something like

hi all</color>

or if every other program uses a clipboard manager, and my program uses another (like it happened in the old days trying to mix kde and gtk apps).

Specifically in the area of cut and paste X is an unrecoverable mess. No way to fix this without hacking X itself, so this is a dead end as far as this discussion thread is concerned. Not that the point is not completely valid, just that we'll be stuck with inconsistent use of cut and paste until the end of time, or the end of X, whichever comes first.
