Convention from icccm: Clients attempting to acquire a selection must set
the time value of the xcb_set_selection_owner request to the timestamp of
the event triggering the acquisition attempt, not to XCB_CURRENT_TIME. In
some cases it happened that timestamp was set to XCB_CURRENT_TIME.
A zero-length append to a property is a way to obtain a timestamp for this
purpose; the timestamp is in the corresponding XCB_PROPERTY_NOTIFY event.
We used to have this mechanism in 4.8, it was achieved by XWindowEvent.
AFAIK there isn't an equivalent for XWindowEvent in XCB. Therefore i had to
introduce a new mechanism in QXcbConnection - getTimestamp. This function
blocks until it receives the requested event.
