James, Yes, I am running xclipboard on the server machine (Linux). If I stop it, then I do not have the problem. Now I understand the cause. Thanks. But I found that I need xclipboard sometimes to copy from the server to the client. For example, if I want to copy a selection from gnome-terminal, sometimes I have to copy it to the xclipboard and then to the client. Otherwise, the old content on the clipboard will be copied. Is there a reliable way to copy the Linux server to Windows client without running xclipboard? Thank you.
