There are a couple of problems with -clipboard (discussed earlier on this list) which have led me to switch back to xwinclip: - Clipboard support seems to die, that is, the Windows clipboard and the X selection stop affecting one another. xwinclip also tends to die occasionally but when this happens it can be restarted. - Windows apps hanging when I try to paste into them. This seems to have started since I began using two displays (though I am not 100% sure). This bug reliably kills any Windows application so it is too dangerous for me to run XWin with clipboard enabled. I have not seen this problem with xwinclip. If you could add some means to manually kill and/or restart the clipboard code inside the X server then I could switch back without the risk of losing work, and I'd be happy to report the contents of Xwin.log on the occasions when such a manual restart was necessary. (In general, I think the clipboard support could be a bit noisier in its logging since the contents of XWin.log never seems to give much away about clipboard or selection change events - but maybe it is more informative to you than to me.) -- Ed Avis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
