+# Scan for wlroots and x11 clipboard events and synchronize text strings.
+# Requirements:
+#  clipnotify   https://github.com/cdown/clipnotify (xfixes clipboard events)
+#  wl-clipboard https://github.com/bugaevc/wl-clipboard
+#  xclip        https://github.com/astrand/xclip
+
+# non-text TARGET/mimetype negotiation requires a more complicated protocol
+# bridge than what xclip and wl-clipboard can be expected to provide.
+# To see the scope of the problem for a given selection:
+#   xclip -t TARGETS -o
+#   wl-paste -l
+
+set -e
+set -x # debug
+#PS4='+ $(sleep .1)' # debug
