XWin causes Windows apps to hang(?)

[Harold L Hunt II]

Ed,

Yes, the OpenClipboard failure is probably causing your crash.  Try 
editing your startxwin.bat and removing the -clipboard parameter being 
passed to XWin.exe.  There is likely a bug in XWin.exe's clipboard 
support that will need to be fixed.
