I upgraded to XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50, but I still get the problem of Windows apps hanging when I paste into them. Here is the XWin.log after that had happened a couple of times.
(Looking at the changelog for -51 I didn't see anything related to the clipboard problem so I haven't tried the new version before reporting this bug, but I will if you want.)
