I start my X environment with the following command:

where would -clipoard fit in, and what does it actually do?
"man startx" explains that the options after '--' are passed directly to
the server. -clipboard is one such option.
"man XWin" explains what that option actually does (i.e., synchronizes the
X keyboard with the Windows one).
HTH,

Thanks. However, I seems something is wrong somewhere.
With my usual command (i.e. "startx -- -screen 0 1200 900") X runs OK,
although I just noticed that I get some feedback relating to clipboard
in the main cygwin window (see
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/herb.eppel_new/temp/Cygwin1.jpg)
When I first tried "startx -- -screen 0 1200 900 -clipboard" some
clipboard error messages appeared - see
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/herb.eppel_new/temp/Cygwin2.jpg
I just tried the same command again. This time there are no clipboard
error messages (see
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/herb.eppel_new/temp/Cygwin3.jpg), but the
clipboard still doesn't work.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.
