update - Vista: no copy/paste X -> MS

[Dick Repasky <rrepasky at lack dot ucs dot indiana dot edu>]

On 30 Jan I posted a note about not being able to copy from an X 
application (xterm or nedit) and paste into Windows Notepad. I also 
reported that the problem occurred on Vista but not XP. I thought 
that I'd try again with the recently posted X update that has clipboard 
debugging turned on.

I found that the bug appears when Windows Notepad is launched after X has 
been launched. Copy and paste from X to Windows Notepad works fine when 
Windows Notepad is launched before X has been launched. This is true on 
both Windows Vista and Windows XP. (My earlier report was incorrect in 
that regard.)

There was no difference between XWin.0.log when copy and paste worked and 
when it did not work. Attached is a copy of XWin.0.log and Cygcheck.out.
