The WebKit tests considers your platform to your definition. It does not
mean X11 or Elementary, as per WebKit-EFL it does NOT know what Elementary
is.

I've explained to you before and your fellow coworker yesterday: just
expose the functions pointers (vurtuals) in Ewk_View smart class.
   In your WebKit TEST you do using a global pointer to a "clipboard"
string. This is simple, fast and CLEAN as you are sure about the state,
unlinke rea x11l clipboard that 1)would require Xserver to run and 2) could
be changed by someone else during the test.
   Of course you should implement those virtuals  in elm_web.c using
elm_cnp.

Ouch WebKit people, seems you don't learn :-/

While you did spot a real bug of the async selection not returning in the
case of an empty clipboard, there should never be such "synchronous"
requests.

WebKit folks looove to do such broken API, such as the JavaScript alert()
that is synchronous in JS but does not need to be like that in C++, yet
they force it!
   Just fill a bug and have them to fix the clipboard to be asynchronous.
If possible do patches to that.

And inner main loops are broken concept. As elaborated by raster in this
list many times.
