The clipboard hanging problem is not completely cured. I am often unable to paste text from X (in particular, xemacs) into Windows apps; the hourglass appears for a few seconds and nothing is pasted. Sometimes I cannot paste from Windows into X; I select some text and copy it to the Windows clipboard but pasting in X gives some different text that I selected in X earlier.
The following log file shows (at the end) the mini-hang when pasting from X into Windows. I am not running xwinclip.exe at the same time.
