You can loop over the values directly:

xdic = {11135457: [1], 11135492: [1], 11135913: [1], 11135436: [1, 2], 
11135699: [1, 2], 11135702: [1, 3], 11135901: [1]}

for values in xdic.values():
     if len(values) == 2:
         print values

or if you only want values which contain 1 and 2 or 3:

for values in xdic.values():
     if 1 in values and 2 in values or 3 in values:
         print values

or a combination of the above, where you check the length and the 
content of the list.
