We must be talking about different things.

Calling XGetWindowProperty() with a selection and type just returns a buffer
of bytes.  If the number of bytes returned is > 0, there is something in the
selection.  This is generally sufficient for dynamically setting menu item
sensitivity during a "map_event".

Whether the contents of the selection is appropriate for the application is
another matter.
