bug#62291: 30.0.50; PGTK copy + paste to other app problem

[Andrew Tropin]

Hello dear maintainers!

I use pgtk emacs on wayland (sway) and a few months ago started facing a
problem with copy/pasting to ungoogled-chromium.  Tried to find relevant
reports on bug-gun-emacs, but didn't succeed.

Way to reproduce and observed behavior:

0. guix shell emacs-next-pgtk (or build a fresh emacs with pgtk from master).
1. Launch emacs -Q.
2. Select any text and optionally copy it with M-w.
3. Paste it to chromium address bar with middle mouse or C-v if it was
copied with M-w.
4. Both chromium and emacs get frozen for some time.
5. After some time Emacs crashes, chromium unfreezes.
6. A few times I saw "waiting for reply from selection owner." in emacs
echo area, but can't reproduce it right now.

- The same workflow, but with foot terminal instead of emacs works fine.
- The same version of Emacs, but built without PGTK, works fine too:
guix shell emacs-next-tree-sitter -- emacs -Q
- Copy pasting from emacs-next-pgtk to alacritty and icecat works fine.

The report of this problem on bug-guix and a backtrace of segfault:
https://yhetil.org/guix-bugs/871qqwfr5d.fsf@trop.in/

A temporary workaround we use (it solves M-w + C-v, but not selection +
middle mouse):
https://git.sr.ht/~abcdw/rde/commit/b6aef2d8b34d1166f33629b4b3a1a0f5751f90f9

Let me know if I can provide any additional information or testing.
