Because of experiencing hangs when using the built-in clipboard support (see other threads), I have switched to running xwinclip.exe separately. It normally works but recently, with the X server having been running for a while, xwinclip died with 'unable to open clipboard'. The full output was
UnicodeSupport - Windows NT/2000/XP Unicode clipboard I/O SelectionNotify - Reasserted ownership of ATOM: PRIMARY [above line repeated many times] OpenClipboard () failed: 00000000 Previously, I've had xwinclip crash but been able to restart it. But now when I try to restart xwinclip it dies immediately: UnicodeSupport - Windows NT/2000/XP Unicode clipboard I/O OpenClipboard () failed: 00000000 Hmm, I was going to say, this happens every time I run it. But during the course of writing this message I pasted some text from the command prompt window into PuTTY, and that seems to have cured the problem - xwinclip is now chugging away happily. So I just mention this in case it is interesting - sorry that I can't reproduce the problem every time. I am running XFree86-xserv 4.3.0-44 and XFree86-xwinclip 4.3.0-2. -- Ed Avis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
