I saw this and the thread with Chris Green, and like Chris I still
don'know what to do.

Is there a write-up that explicitely describes the setup and use of
xwinclip with xdmcp? 

I tried:

XWin.exe -query my_server &

Use the X window to login in to my_server, launch x-term

>From X-windows x-term 
# xhost 127.0.0.1
127.0.0.1 being added to access control list

>From cygwin window: (the first time I tried it failed)
$ DISPLAY=:0.0 xwinclip
UnicodeSupport - Windows NT/2000/XP
GetClipboardData () failed: 00000000

Then I tried 'DISPLAY=:0.0 xwinclip' again from cygwin window, and it
appears to be working, but not cosistently, or else I don't know what
causes the clipboard to move back and forth between Win2K and X-server.

Thanks for any help,
Greg

I have finally got it working, my start up .BAT file to run an xdmcp
connection is as follows:-

    SET DISPLAY=192.168.13.25:0.0

    SET REMOTE_HOST=192.168.13.1

    SET CYGWIN_ROOT=\cygwin

    SET PATH=.;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\usr\X11R6\bin;%PATH%


    REM Cleanup after last run.

    if not exist %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 goto CLEANUP-FINISH
    attrib -s %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0
    del %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0

    :CLEANUP-FINISH
    if exist %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix rmdir %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix

    echo startxdmcp.bat - Starting on Windows NT/2000/XP

    start /B XWin -query %REMOTE_HOST%
    sleep 10
    start /B xwinclip


That sleep between starting XWin and xwinclip seems to be necessary
but now it does seem to work reasonably reliably.  I have fixed IP
addresses for the machines on my home network so the 192.168.13.25
will always be the same for the win2k machine.

Plus the other little (but vitally important) bit, an /etc/X0.hosts
file containing:-

    192.168.13.25
