Looking For Clipboard Solution

Hi All,
I'm running Cygwin X on a Dell/Windows XP to get a full Xsession on a
Solaris box and occasionally my X clipboard fails to work between X and
MS Windows. It takes quite some time (weeks) for it to happen. The MS
Windows clipboard continues to work withen itself and the X clipboard
continues to work withen itself (other X Windows) but they don't work
with each other. Once it fails I need to restart the X Server in it's
entirety to get X clipboard and MS Windows clipboard to talk to each
other.
I installed this Cygwin about 8 months ago from one of the Cygwin setup
mirror sites.
I am using the -clipboard option to XWin:
"XWin -nodecoration -emulate3buttons -clipboard -silent-dup-error
-query my_solaris_box"
Is there a way that I can recover clipboad functionality between X and
MS Windows WITHOUT RESTART of entire X Server?
Also, I really don't want to take the time to do an entire Cygwin
re-installation now, but would like to know if there is a quick simple
fix..
I appreciate your advice.
Joe
