-clipboard fails with XDMCP and GDM

["James Simonsen" <simonsenj at esi dot com>]

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.

Here's my info/log files:

Local System:
Windows 2000 SP2
Cygwin/X 4.3.0-33, -34, -39, -40

Remote Systems:
Redhat 7.3 w/ GDM 2.2.3.1
Libranet 2.8.1 w/ GDM 2.4.1.2
No firewalls
Tried with and without xhost +

Startup command:
xwin -clipboard -dpi 100 -nodecoration -notrayicon -query foo
