debian 5 lenny - cygwin x clipboard

[Alexander Lambrecht]

hi, 

I had a recent upgrade to lenny and am sad to see that the -clipboard
command line parameter has no effect any more :/
I think it is related to the new xserver that is provided by lenny.
My startxdmcp.bat shows:
%RUN% XWin -query %REMOTE_HOST% -nodecoration -lesspointer -fp
tcp/%REMOTE_HOST%:7100 -clipboard -nowinkill

I really miss the clipboard, so much I think about downgrading again :/

But first I wanted to know, if there's an easier way :)

You don't mention which display manager you are using, but if it is GDM you 
might want to read FAQ 7.5 [1].
