Thanks for reporting this problem, and the log file. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this problem. > winClipboardFlushXEvents - SelectionNotify - Conversion to format 242 refused. > winClipboardWindowProc - timed out waiting for WIN_XEVENTS_NOTIFY_TARGETS I think the log timestamps indicate this occurs approximately 9 hours after the server was started. I guess that that format 242 is 'TARGETS' (The value of the atom will vary depending on circumstances. You could check with 'xlsatoms | grep 242'), in which case this means that something went wrong when asking the X client what conversion formats are supported for the selection, which is odd. I also notice an 'nxterm' process is started. Is this a wrapper for xterm, or some other terminal program? But are these errors actually correlated with your problem? About a day later we have: > winClipboardFlushXEvents - SelectionRequest - OpenClipboard () failed: 00000005 00000005 is 'access denied', which typically means that the X server can't take ownership of the clipboard, because some other Windows program isn't letting go of it.
