Yet another clipboard problem with SSH


I'm using SSH to remotely login in to a Sun workstation to do university work,
and I can't copy and paste either way. Everything else I want to do works fine,
I can run programs and save files and send emails, it's just the clipboard that
doesn't work.

I've been trawling through the mailing list archives for quite a while now, and
although there are many other clipboard problems explained, I couldn't find
anything exactly the same as the problem I'm having. I'm running Windows XP.

Here is the what appears in the shell window when I logon, open xterm, open an
xemacs editor and try and copy and paste the contents to any program I have
open on my PC, I've tried Word, Notepad, etc.

At the instance I try the copy and paste, the paste to be precise, this appears
in the xterm window I have open:

xemacs: X Error of failed request:  BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  18 (X_ChangeProperty)
  Atom id in failed request:  0x12d
  Serial number of failed request:  965
  Current serial number in output stream:  967


Any help would be really, really appreciated. I've tried running xwinclip from
startup, I've tried many little changes in the configuration and I can't figure
out why the hell it won't work.

Cheers,

Garry
