The doc string for `x-set-selection' says this:
 
"Make an X Windows selection of type TYPE and value DATA...."
 
I believe, but I'm no expert on this, that that should be X Window,
not X Windows. If true, and if the same problem appears elsewhere,
then those occurrences should be corrected also.
 
We don't want users to think of X Window and Microsoft Windows as
somehow related. ;-)
