Ok, just upgraded to the latest packages, and this is still problematic. I can copy from (say nedit) to the same window, but when I paste in a windows app, the app hangs. I just checked my XWin.log and I get:
winClipboardWindowProc - WM_DRAWCLIPBOARD - Initializing - Returning. winProcSetSelectionOwner - OpenClipboard () failed: 00000000 winProcSetSelectionOwner - OpenClipboard () failed: 00000000 winProcSetSelectionOwner - OpenClipboard () failed: 00000000 winProcSetSelectionOwner - OpenClipboard () failed: 00000000 winProcSetSelectionOwner - OpenClipboard () failed: 00000000 winProcSetSelectionOwner - OpenClipboard () failed: 00000000 The same occurs with, say, xterm. My knowledge of the windows clipboard is somewhat limited, though I think OpenClipboard returns a BOOL, so maybe printing the result of FormatMessage with FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM and GetLastError() might be of more use than the 0! A quick look at the SDK doc said "The window identified by the hWndNewOwner parameter does not become the clipboard owner unless the EmptyClipboard function is called." I don't know if that is relevant, just might be!

No ideas. I will have to look into this soon. Harold
