(2nd post) Copy/Paste problems due to speed of xdm login process

Hi Harold, Kensuke, et al....

The copy/paste is working *much* better after your recent fix.  However, I
am having a very serious problem with it -- the copy/paste functionality
only works if I login *extremely* fast to the XDM.  I am a fast typist, but
I can only login fast enough about half of the time.

About 18 months ago (?) back when we were using xwinclip -- before it was
integrated into the main program -- we had to put a "sleep" into the script
to provide enough time for the communication to take place so that xwinclip
would function.

After xwinclip became integrated into the program, none of this was a
problem, until I installed the new Cygwin a couple weeks ago.

Can you do something to allow adequate time to login so that the copy/paste
will function?

Jay

Jay,

The problem is known... please search the mailing list archives for more 
information.  I don't have a solution, I would appreciate any 
contributions (code, not discussion) that anyone has to offer on this.

[PATCH] backport from integrated clipboard

[Kensuke Matsuzaki]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 188 bytes --]

Hi,

How about using xwinclip insted of -clipboard?
This patch is backport that fix crash with large text,
enable non-ascii copy and paste, and add -nounicodeclipboard.

Kensuke,

Thanks.  I applied this the xwinclip-1.2.0-1 package that I just posted. 
  Note that there is an xwinclip-1.2.0-1-src package that contains the 
source of the new package.  Feel free to send diffs against that source 
until we have xwinclip in a CVS tree.

Thanks for contributing,

Harold
