It usually (but not always) works the first time, but then it won't
work again until you select & cut something in Windows.
$ echo rdp_test | xclip -selection clipboard
[Ctrl-V <rdp_test inserted on Windows>]
$ echo asdf_qwer | xclip -selection clipboard
[Ctrl-V <rdp_test inserted on Windows>]
$ echo "hi there" | xclip -selection clipboard
[Ctrl-V <rdp_test inserted on Windows>]
[Select anything in notepad and hit Ctrl-X (or Ctrl-C)]
echo "foo bar" | xclip -selection clipboard
[Ctrl-V <foo bar inserted on Windows]

I _think_ it always works in that direction. I very rarely need to
transfer stuff in that direction, but every time I've tried it, it has
worked.

Gentoo on an AMD64 system
$ xfreerdp --version
This is FreeRDP version 1.1.0-beta1 (git n/a)
Something else I should have mentioned, I run a multi-screen setup.
I have three screens attached to a single Xorg server instance. My
displays are :0.0 :0.1 :0.2. It's not a xinerama setup with a single
X11 display spread across multiple physical monitors -- I have three
different X11 screens. It doesn't seem to matter whether I run xclip,
xfreerdp, rdesktop on same or different screens, the results are
always the same.
I see there is a "unstable" Gentoo ebuild for xfreerdp 1.2.0, so I'm
going to try that...
