>Regarding xwinclip, you should really be using (XWin -clipboard)
There are a couple of problems with -clipboard (discussed earlier on
this list) which have led me to switch back to xwinclip:
- Clipboard support seems to die, that is, the Windows clipboard and
the X selection stop affecting one another. xwinclip also tends to
die occasionally but when this happens it can be restarted.
- Windows apps hanging when I try to paste into them. This seems to
have started since I began using two displays (though I am not 100%
sure). This bug reliably kills any Windows application so it is too
dangerous for me to run XWin with clipboard enabled. I have not
seen this problem with xwinclip.
If you could add some means to manually kill and/or restart the
clipboard code inside the X server then I could switch back without
the risk of losing work, and I'd be happy to report the contents of
Xwin.log on the occasions when such a manual restart was necessary.
(In general, I think the clipboard support could be a bit noisier in
its logging since the contents of XWin.log never seems to give much
away about clipboard or selection change events - but maybe it is more
informative to you than to me.)
