Sounds to me like most of the time the MultiWindow window manager
(-multiwindow) and the integrated clipboard manager (-clipboard) are
failing to startup. This causes the icons to be left as the default
icon, and it means that the clipboard integration between X and Windows
is not present.

In this case the clipboard integration manager and MultiWindow window
manager *are* working and the behavior you are seeing with the selection
becoming unselected is by design. Changing that design has been on the
To-Do list for some time, but it will take roughly 40 hours to finish
the work that was started on it.

You need to look at /tmp/XWin.log in both of these cases. Better yet,
send in the contents of /tmp/XWin.log for each instance. This will help
us figure out why the window manager and clipboard integration manager
are failing to startup.
Also, please send in the command-line parameters that you are passing to
XWin.exe.
