Hi, This is a very old problem. At the time when I first had the problem there were other people reporting it, so I thought that it was already solved. The fact is that -clipboard option does not function in my W98 machine, I believe that it never has. I use xwinclip, which is OK. The symptoms of the bug are the following >From a CMD-bash shell I type: $ export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 $ XWin -multiwindow -clipboard & .... it writes the usual stuff that goes in XWin.log $ xterm & Appears the usual xterm window that functions OK until one selects a text. The selected text is indeed copied in the clipboard, as can be seen with the Clipboard Viewer. After that the xterm window is blocked. XWin is also blocked. The XWin tray icon does not respond. The xterm window does not move in front when its touched. It does not disappear when the X button is touched. If one kills the xterm program from the CMD-bash-shell the windows persists. If one kills XWin from the CMD-bash-shell, then both xterm and XWin disappear. If one just starts XWin and then clicks Exit in the tray icon, then a Windows allert screen appears that says: ---------- XWin This program has performed an ilegal operation an will be shut down. XWin casued an invalid page fault in module CYGWIN1.DLL at 0167:6108e05e. ----------- All the behavior is reproducible. Without the -clipboard option everything is OK. I hope that this report can be useful. R.M. PS: Please do not eliminate the "obsolete" xwinclip program.
