DESCRIPTION
       Tk_ClearSelection cancels the selection specified by the atom selection
       for  the  display containing tkwin.  The selection need not be in tkwin
       itself or even in tkwin's application.  If there is a  window  anywhere
       on tkwin's display that owns selection, the window will be notified and
       the selection will be cleared.  If there is no owner for  selection  on
       the display, then the procedure has no effect.

KEYWORDS
