I run my evaluation copy of xxe with the command:

its window just vanishes. I haven't been able to find any commonalities
about the times that it aborted, and the one time I saw an error
message on the terminal it was run from, I forgot to copy the
information. I've seen it abort when I was doing nothing with it and
was working on another window.
Is this a timeout feature of the evaluation edition,
No.
or is it an actual problem?
It's obviously an actual problem.
You are the first person to report it ("I've seen it abort when I was
doing nothing with it and was working on another window"; clipboard
update problem which crashes the Java executable? Which other
application were you using? The Gimp? OpenOffice?).
Note that we have very few users running XXE on Linux in general and
even less on Debian Linux.
If it's a problem, how do I attack this problem? I'm running Debian
Wheezy:

Sorry but the above information does not help. We need the contents of
your "Help|About XMLmind XML Editor" dialog box and also a stack trace
showing the crash. See
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/helpMenu.html
On Linux, this is very easy to obtain. Please open a terminal, start XXE
from there by typing "xxe &", then send us the *full* Java stack trace
printed after each crash.
A Java stack trace looks like this:
---
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.example.myproject.Book.getTitle(Book.java:16)
at com.example.myproject.Author.getBookTitles(Author.java:25)
at com.example.myproject.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:14)
... MUCH MORE LINES HERE ...
---
In the most severe cases, it's the Java executable itself which crashes
and there is no Java stack trace at all, just a "core dump report" (a
text file which is useless for us).
If this is the case, then there is nothing, we, XMLmind, can, do. This
simply means that you cannot use XMLmind XML Editor on your Debian Linux.
Please note that this does not mean that XMLmind XML Editor is not
usable on Linux in general. XMLmind XML Editor is developed on Linux
boxes (openSUSE) and works very well on Linux (provided that you use an
Oracle Java runtime; we do not officially support OpenJDK though we
haven't heard about problems with it).
