Harold, I recall that there was an issue with "XWin -clipboard -query",
where in certain circumstances the clipboard thread didn't have permission
to connect to the X server.  This was one argument for having a separate
xwinclip application.  Your comment above implies that this issue is fixed
in the newer X releases, right?
