Hi Igor,

thanks for taking the time to look at my screenshots.

The clipboard may well be working OK - it's just hat I was under the 
mistaken impression that I could simply copy and paste using the usual 
Windows shortcuts :-[

Now that "Soong, SylokeJ" has explained the situation I think I might be 
getting somewhere :-)

Thanks for the tip about /tmp/XWin.log - no doubt it will come in handy.

Regards
