I could do, but it's an old version ok Klipper (from Red Hat 9.0),
and the problem has been fixed (sort of) since.

I don't know the details of the protocol, but perhaps emacs could just
ignore those extra polls for the clip-board if it hasn't changed and
the request has the same originator?

BTW, I installed my fixes to selection processing (notably how events
are queued), and it seems that the original problem I reported (emacs
hanging for a long time when I copy a large selection) seems to be
less noticable now -- but it is still slow if there is a large
selection -- but now I know what's wrong :-|

The problem with getting an x error if I pres C-g during selection
processing is also fixed.
