After reading the above, my first idea is the following:

   http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+ask+for+help

("It does not work!" is one of the worst kinds of reports possible.)

My next idea was "this mailing list is the wrong place to ask", but whatever....

Your SelectSelectionInput requests are never sent to the server. You have to
call xcb_flush() somewhere here.

Also, remove the "_checked" from those two function names. For these functions,
you should capture their return value and eventually call xcb_request_check()
with the cookie. Since you doin't do this and since I don't think you actually
want this, just call the unchecked version.
