time Timestamp to avoid race conditions when running X over the network.
The selection will not be changed if time is earlier than the current last-change time of the selection or is later than the cur-
rent X server time. Otherwise, the last-change time is set to the specified time.
The special value XCB_CURRENT_TIME will be replaced with the current server time.
