Subject: Fix doc of `gui-get-selection' as to what is really valid as `data'
X-Git-Tag: emacs-29.0.90~1931^2~881

Fix doc of `gui-get-selection' as to what is really valid as `data'

* doc/lispref/frames.texi (Window System Selections):
* lisp/select.el (gui-set-selection): Don't say `data' can be a
cons or list of two integers, since that's not supported.
