I am between a rock and a hard place. If I start X-windows without the -clipboard option, then I cannot cut and paste between my windows web browser (mozilla) and my x-terminals using the middle mouse button.
If I do start X-windows with the -clipboard option, then Xemacs seems to not be able to mark the region. Or rather, just after marking the region via the mouse or by hitting ctrl-space and moving to the other end of the region, I cannot use the region with the error: "Region is not active now"
This is my cygwin X-windows startup file
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
