Here is an example screen capture and repeatable bug of the clipboard
breaking.
Synopsis: Copy from Windows, highlight text in gedit, clipboard breaks
(paste doesn't work). Proceed to copy from gedit and suddenly that text
gets pasted. Sometimes it will just start pasting while a selection is
being made.. ??

I often keep gedit sessions open on remote servers for maintaining
various scripts. The problem I've encountered is that after a while I
can no longer copy/paste between X and Windows.
For example, I'll copy in windows and attempt to paste in gedit but
nothing will happen. However, if I then proceed to copy something in
gedit it will immediate "paste" that in place of where I had previously
tried to paste from Windows.
Sometimes I can get it working again by bombarding the clipboard with
copy/pastes from both X and Windows. But most of the time I have to exit
the ssh session and reconnect.
Is this a known problem?
I am using the Cygwin x32 with the latest packages.
