Intermittent X clipboard failure

[Williams, Chris (Marlboro)]

Hi,
This clipboard failure happened again. This time I notice I could still
copy from X apps to the Windows clipboard buffer. Also this time I
copied some log information about the shutdown:

---- Start log clip ----
winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress
winClipboardProc - winClipboardFlushWindowsMessageQueue trapped WM_QUIT
message,
 exiting main loop.
winClipboardProc - XDestroyWindow succeeded.

winClipboardIOErrorHandler!

---- End log clip ----

Anyone have any specific hints about hunting down this clipboard
problem?
Possibly apropos, anyone have any issues running the "Office Clipboard"
that comes with MS Office 2003 with this new X server, X.Org 7.4?

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: Intermittent X clipboard failure

Hi,

I've been using the Xwin release 1.5.3.0 on XP SP2 and I'm experiencing
odd copy/paste behavior.
When I first start the X server with the "-clipboard" command-line
option everything works fine, copy/paste to/from X apps with no problem.
After a while, and unfortunately I don't know what event triggers this,
Windows stops accepting clipboard data from the X apps and vice versa, I
can't paste into any X app.
The log isn't that much help, probably because I don't understand what
I'm looking at. I do see messages like:
winProcessXEventsTimeout - Call to select () failed: 0.  Bailing.
winClipboardFlushXEvents - SelectionRequest - OpenClipboard () failed:
00000000

If I restart the X server this problem goes away immediately. Or if I
wait long it enough I stop seeing those log messages and the problem
goes away on it's own apparently. Anyone else have this type of problem?
I'm not even sure what the next step is as far as providing useful data
for debugging purposes. I'll also add that I'm only talking about text
copy here.

Thank you,
Chris
