Did you ever confirm for me that you are *not* also running xwinclip at 
the same time as using -clipboard?

The log that you show below confirms that you *do not* have 4.3.0-50 
installed, or that you are running some other version from your startup 
scripts.  There should be a 5 line block at the top of the log file 
since 4.3.0-49, but your log doesn't have it.  Don't know what to tell 
you... you must have some copies of XWin.exe laying around or maybe you 
copied certain versions and renamed them.  You'll have to help us by 
figuring that out.
