So are we now saying that what I want to do is impossible?

I thought people were initially saying that although the '-clipboard'
parameter to Xwin wouldn't work when using xdmcp the separate xwinclip
executable should work OK.  However it would now seem that it's
actually impossible to execute xwinclip in the situation where one has
am xdmcp connection to a remote computer.

I'm not complaining (much!), but I am rather confused.  :-)
