Ok, I looked at these issues more... I havent figured out the reason for #3 yet, but I have figured out #1 and #2.
#1 : Windows puts a \r\n at the end of each new line. XWinclip should strip the \r characters after it receives it from the Windows clipboard, but before it sends it to the X server. #2 : When Xwinclip calls XChangeProperty, to set the string, it sends pszGlobalData, with a length of strlen(pszGlobalData) + 1. The + 1 adds the null terminator. I do not think this is necessary. If it is included this way, the null terminator is added to the PASTE operation in X. Emacs, for instance, will display this as \@. I will fix these issues sometime soon, if no one else gets to them, and send them to the group. Issue #3, I have not really looked at yet.
