The nature of the fix was to stop calling XPeekIfEvent since it will block until the specified type of event is seen. Instead, we call XSync to flush output events and wait for them to be processed, then we do our own little loop with a call to select() using a timeout of 3 seconds from when we started (the timeout is adjusted after each call to select()). This should alleviate problems with XPeekIfEvent not returning. Finally, since we can detect whether the SelectionNotify event has arrived now, I added code to paste NULL to the Win32 clipboard if the X11 application never returns any useful clipboard data; this should prevent Win32 applications from freezing when there are problems pasting from X11 to Win32.
