Re: Minor progress on Windows clipboard deadlock

Øyvind,

I think I fixed at least part of your problem with the clipboard support 
when compiling from CVS.  It turned out that my OsVendorReset function 
was not being called in the CVS version because -DDDXOSRESET was not 
being defined where the files in Xserver/dix/ could see it, thus no call 
was made to OsVendorReset since it is wrapped with #ifdef DDXOSRESET.

I'm not sure if you were using Xdmcp or if you were using -mutliwindow 
with ssh.  If you were using Xdmcp, then this may fix your problem; if 
you are only using ssh, then it is unlikely to help.
