If I should want to pass an array of ints between applications via a selection
(instead of by using sockets as I have been doing), what should I use for a
target atom?  For arrays of chars there is XA_STRING, but it doesn't seem
right to use the same type for int arrays -- Indeed  I'm not so sure it 
wouldn't introduce portability problems.  Can anyone help me out?  Should I
just use XA_STRING?  Can/should I define a new target type?
