Clipboard functionality under xdmcp

Hello,

I'm using cygwin/xfree86 quite successfully under the xdmcp, displaying hp-cde desktops in the server window, and
thereby running hp-unix apps remotely.

However, when I copy and paste text in the cde, it doesn't show up on the windows clipboard, even though I started xwin
with the -clipboard option.

My startup line in bash looks like this:

xwin :3 -clipboard -query alsux227 -fp tcp/buddha26:7000 &

This starts an xdmcp session with alsux227, using the font server on buddha26.

Should the clipboard option work under these circumstances?

Thanks,

James R. Phillips
