You copy text to the clipboard in Win32 with Ctrl+C. You then paste
that in X11 with either a middle mouse button click or via a menu in the
current application (if it has a Paste menu item).
You copy text in X11 by highlighting it and, optionally, clicking the
Copy button in a menu (if the application has a Copy menu item). Leave
the text highlighted just to be sure. To paste that text in Win32,
press Ctrl+V.
Try this first with Notepad and an xterm.
If you still do not succeed, send in /tmp/XWin.log from a failed attempt.
