bug#55992: 29.0.50; Experiencing incorrect synchronization of clipboard

[Jean Louis <bugs@gnu.support>]

I have these settings:

(setq select-enable-clipboard t)
(setq select-enable-primary t)

And I can tell that with recent Emac, development version, I am
experiencing incorrect synchronization of primary selection.

1) Too often I go to XTerm, I mark some words with mouse;

2) Then I switch window to Emacs and try to yank it with C-y

3) Instead of getting words from (1) I can see some previous selection.

4) Sometimes I see this message: "Selection owner couldn’t convert: TIMESTAMP [2 times]"

I did not have these problems before in my work, but I have it
now. Something changed.
