widget believes it owns a selection.
It returns

The widget may fail to become the owner if some other widget
has asserted ownership at a time later than this widget.

.LP
A widget that becomes the selection owner using
-.ZN XtOwnSelectionIncremental
+.B XtOwnSelectionIncremental
may use
-.ZN XtDisownSelection
+.B XtDisownSelection
to relinquish selection ownership.
.LP
The
-.ZN XtDisownSelection
+.B XtDisownSelection
function informs the \*(xI selection mechanism that
the specified widget is to lose ownership of the selection.
If the widget does not currently own the selection either
because it lost the selection
or because it never had the selection to begin with,
-.ZN XtDisownSelection
+.B XtDisownSelection
does nothing.
.LP
After a widget has called
-.ZN XtDisownSelection ,
+.BR XtDisownSelection ,
its convert procedure is not called even if a request arrives later
with a timestamp during the period that this widget owned the selection.
However, its done procedure will be called if a conversion that started
before the call to
-.ZN XtDisownSelection
+.B XtDisownSelection
finishes after the call to
-.ZN XtDisownSelection .
