Alt-gr not working in Emacs and Clipboard crashes emacs

[Greger Wikstrand]

Hi all!
 
Since I downloaded the latest updates to Cygwin including the 4.3.0-1
version of XFree86 I have been having two big problems with emacs (GNU Emacs
21.3.2 (sparc_sun-solaris2.8, X toolkit, Xawd3d scroll bars)). I am running
emacs on a remote machine using openssh.
 
First, if I select text using the mouse emacs crashes with the following
output:
“X protocol error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) on protocol request
38”
I have tried following the advice in
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-03/msg00178.html but that has not
helped.
 
Second, if I try to type {} and other characters requiring that I use the
AltGr key I get the main character of that key so instead of getting {} I
get 70.
I’ve seen that I am not the only one with this problem

(http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-03/msg00161.html) here is my xev
output:
