Of course, if you aren't getting Xwin started properly, you can't count on
it to work. Cutting and pasting between Windows and X is a little weird,
because each uses its own model.
To copy something in an X window, simply highlight it. This does place it in
the clipboard. To paste, click the center mouse button.
Windows cut/paste has a bunch of possibilities, but to copy highlight, then
select Copy from the menu, type Cntl+C or type Cntl+Insert. To paste,
select paste from the menu, type Cntl+V or Shift+Insert.
By the way, I tend to do this an awful lot between Cygwin and Windows, for
whatever reason, it seems a little cranky in the address bar of a browser,
but everything else seems to work just fine.
Hope this helps

Subject: clipboard issue
I'm trying to get copy and paste working between X applications and
Windows. I'm running Cygwin 1.5.23(0.156/4/2) on Windows XP
Professional. When I run startxwin.sh, the last lines are
winProcSetSelectionOwner - Clipboard not yet started, aborting
winProcSetSelectionOwner - Clipboard not yet started, aborting
If I comment out the line that launches an xterm, these messages go
away. In any event, I can't figure out how to cut and paste between X
and windows applications. I've searched the docs, but don't see
anything about what style of cut and paste I should expect. That is,
is it like X by using the mouse buttons or some other key sequence?
Thanks.
