Intermittent X clipboard failure

["Williams, Chris (Marlboro)" <ChristopherB dot Williams at amd dot com>]

Hi,

I've been using the Xwin release 1.5.3.0 on XP SP2 and I'm experiencing
odd copy/paste behavior.
When I first start the X server with the "-clipboard" command-line
option everything works fine, copy/paste to/from X apps with no problem.
After a while, and unfortunately I don't know what event triggers this,
Windows stops accepting clipboard data from the X apps and vice versa, I
can't paste into any X app.
The log isn't that much help, probably because I don't understand what
I'm looking at. I do see messages like:
winProcessXEventsTimeout - Call to select () failed: 0.  Bailing.
winClipboardFlushXEvents - SelectionRequest - OpenClipboard () failed:
00000000

If I restart the X server this problem goes away immediately. Or if I
wait long it enough I stop seeing those log messages and the problem
goes away on it's own apparently. Anyone else have this type of problem?
I'm not even sure what the next step is as far as providing useful data
for debugging purposes. I'll also add that I'm only talking about text
copy here.

Thank you,
Chris
