Clipboard related failure

Clipboard related failure

Hi all,

I just had and clipboard related problem, and a Windows notpad like
program stopped working (not responsive), along with it.

I currently use XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-44 with cygwin-1.5.7.

I've included the XWin.log file, if it's of any use.

Thanks,
 Haro

What did you do to cause the program to stop responding?  Others have
seen a problem where _pasting_ into a Windows application from the X
server causes the Windows app to hang.  See
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.xfree/9829>.

Yes, seems to be same problem. I was trying to paste text to Windows app
from kterm (xterm like program).

One thing I forgot to mention was that, I use -rootless mode:
    XWin -clipboard -rootless -emulate3buttons 50 -lesspointer

Thanks,
 Haro

I'm seeing the problem as well. Just highlight text in an xterm, paste 
into anything (e.g., notepad), and the program being pasted into stalls. 
Very unfortunate.

Moreover, when I tried to exit Xwin after this (via the systray icon), 
the Xwin closing confirmation dialog also stalled! (Hence, no xwin.log.)

I can't reproduce the problem, but I'll try and keep an eye out for it.
