You can always set the xterm title by sending it the string: Esc ] 0 ;
^G . You can do it from the xterm application (writing to
/dev/tty or stdout if its connected, or externally, by writing to
/dev/tty [Cygwin] or /dev/pts/ [Linux]).
Bellow is a small script that update the title if it is run on an
interactive xterm (the 2nd is a tty emulator written here).

Not quite what's needed here.[1] I have a similar problem on Linux (I use VNC virtual DISPLAY). My solution is to use a shell script and check for the open port by trying to connect to it. If this fails 5 times, I assume it is not existing and do whats needed (I do check from remote computers too, so "whats needed" varies). If the connection succeeds the application is run with this DISPLAY. I wrote a small program that does the connect with timeout, and a simple bash script that ensures killing the test program if it hangs (which sometimes occurs).

This change is very good, but there are 2 notes:
1. The Identification (Welcome ... Contact) appears twice (at the top
and just after "winInitializeDefaultScreens".
2. Could you add a time-stamp at beginning of each line ?
I tried to correspond the log messages with external actions (i.e.
copy/paste and Emacs errors) and the time stamp could help.
I use the code below in my programs.
BTW. I could not download 4.3.0-50 from the mirrors yet.

I am able to paste from Emacs to Windows > programs, but nothing happends when I try the reverse. It works for me. Check 2 things: 1. That you use the clipboard with Xwin (-clipboard) in startxwin. From your ability to paste into windows it seems it is set. 2. Check the function your mouse click uses to paste (by C-h k). The function that works for me is `x-get-selection'.

Works perfectly. Thanks! Although you solved your problem I propose to use VNC (GPLed, from http://www.realvnc.org or one of its clones). It has several advantage on running Emacs with X11 forwarding. 1. It allows you to run anything on your office machine and see it on your home machine - not just X11 applications. 2. It is stateless - if the communication fails for any reason, you can reconnect and resume your work (like `screen' for ttys). 3. You have the options to connect "read only" and have multiple connections. I know you can achieve 2 & 3 with Emacs on multiple X's too, but it is more complicated, and from my experience it fails more often. You'll still need the ssh to securely connect and tunnel through your firewall, but you can disable the X11 forwarding (which is done on your gateway machine and is considered security breach by some).
