Description:
I've noticed that selecting text in rxvt and then middle-click pasting it into Chromium doesn't work in Arch. Also, after selecting text in rxvt, running the following in another terminal revealed this:

$ xclip -t TARGETS -o
TARGETS
TEXT
X Error of failed request: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 17 (X_GetAtomName)
Atom id in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 18
Current serial number in output stream: 18
$

After applying the attached patch from Debian, the issue disappeared - pasting in Chromium started working, and xclip started behaving more as expected:

$ xclip -t TARGETS -o
TARGETS
STRING
TEXT
COMPOUND_TEXT
$

Additional info:
* package version: rxvt 2.7.10


Steps to reproduce:
1. Select some text in rxvt with your mouse
2a. Try middle-click pasting in Chromium (possibly other browsers), or
2b. Run `xclip -t TARGETS -o` and observe the X Error

Oh, and regarding reporting this upstream: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=341200 mentions it's already in upstream's CVS (yeah, I know), however the link to the CVS browser is broken.
