Can you tell me why I am losing time though. Seems like it should keep time without additional configuration, software, etc.
Thx
once you start looking into NTP you will see why it is needed.
not all machines have identical times they are off by just a hair here and there. over time that amounts to seconds and so on. NTP just keeps it in sync w/ the NTP server.
IE: my watch is a great time piece but on a yearly basis it is off by i think 2-3 minutes.

XSelectionClearEvent(3) XLIB FUNCTIONS XSelectionClearEvent(3)
NAME
XSelectionClearEvent - SelectionClear event structure
STRUCTURES
The structure for SelectionClear events contains:
typedef struct {
int type; /* SelectionClear */
unsigned long serial; /* # of last request processed by server */
Bool send_event; /* true if this came from a SendEvent request */
Display *display; /* Display the event was read from */
Window window;
Atom selection;
Time time;
} XSelectionClearEvent;
When you receive this event, the structure members are set as follows.
The type member is set to the event type constant name that uniquely identifies it. For example, when the X server reports a GraphicsEx-
pose event to a client application, it sends an XGraphicsExposeEvent structure with the type member set to GraphicsExpose. The display
member is set to a pointer to the display the event was read on. The send_event member is set to True if the event came from a SendEvent
protocol request. The serial member is set from the serial number reported in the protocol but expanded from the 16-bit least-significant
bits to a full 32-bit value. The window member is set to the window that is most useful to toolkit dispatchers.
The selection member is set to the selection atom. The time member is set to the last change time recorded for the selection. The window
member is the window that was specified by the current owner (the owner losing the selection) in its XSetSelectionOwner call.
