Yep, I use xclip to explicitly copy to CLIPBOARD whatever I want to
paste into Windows. That always worked without problems using the
older rdesktop rdp client.
What happens with xfreerdp is that it will _sometimes_ work the first
time I do
<somecmd> | xclip -i -selection clipboard
[hit ctrl-V on windows]
But after that, no matter how many times I run xlicp -i again, Ctrl-V
will continue to insert the same thing (or nothing, if it didn't work
the first time).
It will always work if I do this:
1) Select something in Windows session and hit Ctrl-C or Ctrl-X
2) xclip -o -selection clipboard
3) <somecmd> | xclip -i -selection clipboard
4) Hit Ctrl-V on Windows
I'm going to unamsk xfreerdp 1.2.0 and see if it works any better.
