On my system toggling the Office clipboard toggles the ability to copy 
from X and paste into Windows Notepad when Notepad is launced before X.

If I launch X and then Windows Notepad I cannot copy from X and paste into 
Notepad independently of whether Office clipboard is on or off.

If I launch Windows Notepad before launching X, I can copy from X and 
paste into Notepad when Office clipboard is off. I cannot copy and paste 
when Office clipboard is on.

I'm running Office 2007, I have been using Excel to toggle the Windows 
clipboard.
