[comp.windows.x] time for a ClientMessage event?

jcarson@CARREL.BCM.TMC.EDU (Janet Carson) (08/30/89)

I have a routine which is an event handler for a ClientMessage event.
From this routine, I need to find out the value of the primary selection.
I wish to do this by calling XtGetSelectionValue.  

What time value do I pass to XtGetSelectionValue?  The doc's say CurrentTime 
is not acceptable, and the ClientMessageEvent does not have a field for time.

Just out of curiosity, can anyone tell me...

Why doesn't CurrentTime work for this routine?
Why don't all events have times attached to them?

Thanks,
