Hi All, I'm running Cygwin X on a Dell/Windows XP to get a full Xsession on a Solaris box and occasionally my X clipboard fails to work between X and MS Windows. It takes quite some time (weeks) for it to happen. The MS Windows clipboard continues to work withen itself and the X clipboard continues to work withen itself (other X Windows) but they don't work with each other. Once it fails I need to restart the X Server in it's entirety to get X clipboard and MS Windows clipboard to talk to each other.
I installed this Cygwin about 8 months ago from one of the Cygwin setup mirror sites. I am using the -clipboard option to XWin: "XWin -nodecoration -emulate3buttons -clipboard -silent-dup-error -query my_solaris_box" Is there a way that I can recover clipboad functionality between X and MS Windows WITHOUT RESTART of entire X Server? Also, I really don't want to take the time to do an entire Cygwin re-installation now, but would like to know if there is a quick simple fix.. I appreciate your advice.
