"Only a madman is absolutely sure".  I'm afraid the best test case I have a
the moment is:

Install xorg-server-debuginfo
Start XWin -noclipboard -multiwindow
Start xwinclip under gdb, and place a breakpoint at wndproc.c:133, and run it
Start emacs-x11, open the Shakespeare text from [1] in a buffer
Open notepad
Copy and paste the text from the emacs buffer into notepad
The breakpoint is hit.  Notice that select() has returned 0, the read ready
fd_set is empty and the timeout hasn't expired. I claim that the read ready
fd_set should indicate that the X connection socket is ready.
