To repeat what I said in previous postings...

THIS CAUSES THE SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED -------------------

C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\XWin.exe -multiwindow -nowinkill -once -broadcast

------------------------------------------------------

THIS CAUSES IT TO WORK OK-----------------------------

C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\XWin.exe -multiwindow -nowinkill -once -broadcast
-clipboard

------------------------------------------------------

Conclusion: the problem has something to do with clipboard functionality,
and the log seems to bear this out.
