Thanks for you answer Alex. Unfortunately I expect my users will want 
something more like Exceed where they just use their mouse.

Does xwinclip work with xdm on your machine? If I do:

xwin -query host -fp host:7100 -from mypc &
xhost + (in the xdm window)
xwinclip&

It stops me being able to highlight text. Is there something wrong I'm doing 
in the above?
