[ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 92

[Harold L Hunt II]

What do you mean you get an xwinclip execption when using -clipboard. 
You aren't running xwinclip AND -clipboard, are you?  If so, I would 
certainly expect crashes, since both xwinclip and -clipboard do exactly 
the same thing.  Please tell me that you just made a mistake in your 
description and that you are not actually doing this.
