Re: Possible to use clipboard with remote/xdm connection?

Chris,

I think there is a timing and authentication problem with the internal 
-clipboard implementation and remote XDM sessions.  You can, instead, 
use the 'xwinclip' program (installed via Cygwin's setup.exe) and wait 
to launch it until after you have logged in to your remote XDM host. 
You may have to run 'xhost 127.0.0.1' on the remote host after you have 
logged in.
