Hello, I am still experiencing problems with -clipboard and XDMCP. Copy and paste between linux/windows works fine in the login dialog, but stops working as soon as I log in. There's also an error in the XWin.log at this point.
I wonder if this is because I'm using GDM instead of KDM or XDM? Harold mentioned that each manager behaves a bit differently. Has anyone had success with GDM before? I'll try to test KDM or XDM when I get a chance. Everything works fine if I start xwinclip, instead of -clipboard, after I've logged in.
