I don't think xgselect has anything to do with this.  Either a response 
comes on the X connection, or it doesn't.  It can't come anywhere else.
If the X connection does not work, Emacs would not work at all.

We need some relevant info, like what OS are you running, what desktop 
environment, what is the "my browser" that you selected from?
Can you select text from "my browser" into another application?

Please try to be more specific.
