Package: x2goclient 
Version: 4.0.5.0 

There is a problem when using a x2go session (in both "Publisshed apps" or 
"Desktop / MATE" mode ... didn't tried on other desktops) and trying to do 
bidirectional copy/paste from a Windows client (Windows 7 SP1 / x2goclient 
4.0.5.0).
It seems that the "copy on select" features is overriding the primary clipboard 
which makes the copy/paste pretty difficult if not impossible.

How to reproduce :

Local : Windows 7 SP1 / x2goclient 4.0.5.0 in Published Apps ou MATE Desktop 
mode (but windowed or fullscreen on 1 dedicated screen, not complete fullscreen)
Remote : Ubuntu 14.04 / MATE Desktop with x2goserver 4.0.5.0 and 
x2gomate-bindings

>From Windows, copy some text in Notepad then, on your x2go session (let's say 
>with Pluma or Gedit), select some text you want to replace (just select, not 
>copy) and try to do a paste, that won't work and your clipboard now contains 
>the text that has been selected in the x2go session.
You can even paste it in Windows (but strangely, not in Linux where the 
clipboard seems empty).

This is very very annoying especially for our use case where our x2go sessions 
are used as developpers sessions in Published Apps mode and they do plenty of 
copy/paste all day long.
We moved recently to this infrastructure but this doesn't help its acceptancy 
due to this bug.

I tried to check the "do not use primary clipboard" in the client preferences 
but this makes the xserver fails to start (see bug #906), I even tried to add 
the -noprimary or the -noclipboardprimary that are described here 
(http://code.x2go.org/vcxsrv?p=vcxsrv.git;a=blob;f=xorg-server/hw/xwin/InitOutput.c;h=5a3d80f7fe17d2e81f634ba80d0494451653b637;hb=934184bfecd402aae891b8740d788b486aa7269f#l722)
 but that dosn't work either, it seems these options are in the usage help 
message but are not supported at all so I don't know if using them is helping 
or not.
