[Ohrrpgce] Clipboard stuff

[Ralph Versteegen]

I know why working only if you do it twice in a row happens. On X11, unlike
Windows and Mac, to get the contents of the clipboard you send a request to
another application and then are meant to wait for the response (an X11
event).  To simplify the code (the original calls SDL_PumpEvents which I
dont' want to do... maybe I can peek at the X11 event buffer instead) I
just wait 4ms instead. But I realised this is way too little - for example
the other application might be running running a loop at 30fps and only so
checks for events every 33ms. I forgot to increase it.

Blanking out text when you paste would happen if the OS clipboard appears
to be empty (because of the timeout problem) and the internal clipboard
(STATIC clip) is also empty because you've never copy-pasted.
