The Athena Text Widget does not create the Atoms for the Cut Buffers
until the actions select-start() and extend-end() have been
executed.  A call to XtTextSetSelection is not sufficient
to create CUT_BUFFER0, which is used in the action insert-selection.
This causes XmuInternAtom to exit the program.

A (kludge) solution is to cause the actions select-start and extend-end
to be executed immediately after the call to XtTextSetSelection, by
using the appropriate event translation.
