I've finally tracked down the problem. When the call to
gdk_selection_owner_get() is done, the proper selection XID is returned
as being the owner of the selection, but there is no entry in the
GtkDisplay's XID hashtable (xid_ht).
Well, another case of me missing the obvious. Never mind, it isn't actually a
problem. When the second instance of the gtk.c program is run, it only has the
list of windows created for the process. It doesn't know about windows created
in other processes. GDK would have to create a list of all property owner
windows at startup to make this work like I expected.
The way to make it work is to make calls directly to Xlib. Of course that only
works on Unix/Linux.
