Here is a small program which creates a window with a button and then spins
forever asking for the available types.  When run, you can still click on the
button, even though we never run the event loop.  Regarding bug 44915, it seems
that implementing a synchronous clipboard retrieval under X is challenging.

public class main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Display display = new Display();
        Shell shell = new Shell(display);

        shell.setText("Event loopy?");
        shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
        
        Button b = new Button(shell, SWT.PUSH);
        b.setText("yum yum");
        Clipboard c = new Clipboard(display);

        shell.open();
        
        int foo = 1;
        while(foo > 0) {
            c.getAvailableTypes();
            System.out.println("i eat cheese");
            try {
                Thread.sleep(500);
            } catch( Exception e) {
            }
        }
        
        while( !shell.isDisposed() ) {
                if( !display.readAndDispatch()) display.sleep();
        }

        display.dispose();
    }
}
