For years, I've had a problem I couldn't diagnose any further on all my Windows machines: If a VirtualBox VM is running, and Zim for Windows is running, sometimes -- often -- Zim suddenly can't write to the clipboard and also separately the VirtualBox daemon in the guest OS can't read from the clipboard.
I suspect this is a problem with GTK2, which hasn't seen much development work in over 5 years. I think I've had the problem with other GTK apps built for Windows. I found a workaround last night: Cygwin contains a well-packaged build of XOrg for Windows, an XDG menu application (for presenting XDG desktop launchers in an icon on the Windows system tray) and Zim 0.65. https://github.com/jaap-karssenberg/zim-wiki/wiki/Install-Zim-under-Cygwin Running Zim for Unix under Cygwin makes my clipboard problem go away.
