Winbash has "just bash", nothing else. If you can write all your scripts with bash features alone, this is fine, because you have a simple environment and don't have to care about installation and package dependencies.
As soon as you need some external tools, you need to install for instance the utilities found in GnuWin32 (
GnuWin32). Of course in this case, you can equally well install Cygwin in the first place.
In the past, Cygwin had the disadvantage that you could not do a portable installation and you needed local admin rights to install it. Recently this imporved a lot, so this is not really an argument anymore.

xselectinput
XSelectInput(3X11) XSelectInput(3X11)
NAME
XSelectInput - select input events
SYNOPSIS
XSelectInput(display, w, event_mask)
Display *display;
Window w;
long event_mask;
ARGUMENTS
Specifies the connection to the X server. Specifies the event mask. Specifies the window whose events you are interested in.
DESCRIPTION
The XSelectInput function requests that the X server report the events associated with the specified event mask. Initially, X will not
report any of these events. Events are reported relative to a window. If a window is not interested in a device event, it usually propa-
gates to the closest ancestor that is interested, unless the do_not_propagate mask prohibits it.
Setting the event-mask attribute of a window overrides any previous call for the same window but not for other clients. Multiple clients
can select for the same events on the same window with the following restrictions: Multiple clients can select events on the same window
because their event masks are disjoint. When the X server generates an event, it reports it to all interested clients. Only one client at
a time can select CirculateRequest, ConfigureRequest, or MapRequest events, which are associated with the event mask SubstructureRedirect-
Mask. Only one client at a time can select a ResizeRequest event, which is associated with the event mask ResizeRedirectMask. Only one
client at a time can select a ButtonPress event, which is associated with the event mask ButtonPressMask.
The server reports the event to all interested clients.
XSelectInput can generate a BadWindow error.
DIAGNOSTICS
A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
