Comment #10 on issue 317 by daniel.schoepe: Util.XSelection.putSelection  
repeatable hang
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=317

Using forkOS is potentially dangerous in this case, since Xlib is not  
reentrant.
Unfortunately, there are no bindings to Xlib's locking mechanisms in the  
bindings at
the moment, so we'll either have to add and use those or risk some other  
breakage or
even deadlocks when using forkOS.
Anyway, potential breakage still beats having a deadlock in every case.
(I'm unsetting the owner of this bug since I'm not very knowlegdeable  
regarding these
issues)
