I am not sure I understand your point.

QXcbEventQueue is a QThread, so the xcb event queue is always pulled in its
own thread.
>From what I understand of the Qt XCB clipboard and event queue
implementation, accessing the clipboard from
the main Qt thread will always result in the QWaitCondition locking until
the queue thread receive a clipboard event or the timeout expires.
Also as the QWaitCondition does not care about the event dispatcher any
attempt to force event processing by waking up the event dispatcher
(either by registering file descriptors or calling wakeUp())  will not work.
