I am also having this problem.  I have a script similar to startxwin.bat
that launches Nedit. If I have the windows application "VNC" running,
copy and paste from NEdit no longer works. When I terminate the VNC
session, the copy and paste is okay.

I did a fresh cygwin install several weeks ago, but this has been an
ongoing problem for me even with previous installs. I also see
intermittent behavior periodically.

I don't know, but when I have the problem, closing CLCL solves the
issue.
