This is rather strange and I don't even know if I have a correct repro. The symptoms I see is that I am able to copy in X (XEmacs or xterm) and paste in Windows but not vice-versa.
Immediately after I start X copy/paste works both ways. I suspect this has something to do with Microsoft Visual Studio. It seems to hijack the clipboard and copy/paste stops working altogether. I found this using a utility GetOpenClipboardWindow I found on the net. When copy/paste across windows Apps stops working, this utility always reports that VSS owns the clipboard. I often have to kill VS to get other programs to interact with the clipboard. But even after I kill VS Studio, Cygwin-X is not able to get data from the clipboard. Any time I paste in X I see the above message in /var/log/XWin.0.log Any suggestions what might be wrong and how I can work-around this issue?
