You don't need to use Widgets (and, in fact, in XForms, you can't
since XForms is not Xt based but Xlib based).
There are Xlib routines which allow you to perform selections and pass
them between clients. Refer to your favorite Xlib manual. There
should be a section on Interclient Communication. The O'Reilly _Xlib
Programming Manual_ has a lengthy chapter. In my edition, section
12.4 covers selection. There are code snippets.
