/**
 This class implements watching manager selections, as described in the ICCCM
 section 2.8. It emits signal newOwner() when a new owner claim the selection,
 and emits lostOwner() when the selection ownership is given up. To find
 out current owner of the selection, owner() can be used.
 @short ICCCM manager selection watching
 
 This class is only useful on the xcb platform. On other platforms the code is only
 functional if the constructor overloads taking an xcb_connection_t are used. In case
 you inherit from this class ensure that you don't use xcb and/or XLib without verifying
 the platform.
