My wife's Windows config at home now is very functional, thanks to Cygwin and Cygwin-xfree (thanks Christopher, Harold, and everone else!)
But, we still can't get copy and paste between XFree86 and Windows... xwinclip works exactly as advertised, but its insistence on de-selecting as it copies to the Windows clipboard means that a broad range of user interface actions inside X become impossible. One example is where you have to select an item from a list before applying some action to the selection; or selecting a piece of text for cut and paste. At home, my wife had to stop using xwinclip because of this. Could it be changed to not do this selection-clearing? I got the impression it was only done so that you knew the copy-to-Windows- clipboard action had happened. But I'm quite happy to take that on faith! At least, could there be a command line option to turn off this activity? luke
