It was not done for the user to know that copy happened, but for 
xwinclip to know when the user select something (xwinclip loses the 
"clipboard focus" then).

Anyway, Chris Twiner posted a version that does the copy to windows only 
when XWin gets deactivated (i.e. when you select another Windows 
application, so the selection stays until you leave the XWin window).

See the attachment at the bottom of the message:

You'll need to compile it yourself though.

And maybe Chris has a newer version now.
