I need help with this call:

The following sample states:
https://github.com/bstpierre/gtk-examples/blob/master/c/clipboard_simple.c
// NOTE: If you test this without a clipboard manager running, the // new text saved to the clipboard will disappear as soon as this // program exits.
xclip does not have this issue, and I can't figure out why.

How do I make my text write to the clipboard persistent?
Does your program have that problem? Are you running Gnome? My understanding is that Gnome automatically grabs any clipboard contents so that they do persist after the program exits. So effectively, you always have a clipboard manager running as mentioned in the doc.
I am not top that point yet. Another programmer I have been collaborating with has and he does have the problem.
See if it works, but there's also https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk3-Clipboards.html#gtk-clipboard-s... which might be relevant.
DUDE!!!! THANK YOU!
