I have been experiencing this issue frequently ever since I "up"graded
to the new X server and xterm last month. I am using xterm. I haven't
tried rxvt. I have MS Office XP on WinXP SP2. Disabling the Office
Clipboard as suggested doesn't work for me. Once I get in this state
copy/paste functionality is broken for all apps. To get the Windows
clipboard working I have to kill the X server using Task Manager as
telling it to exit using the right-click menu on the X icon in
notification area doesn't work. It looks like the X server hangs on
shutdown.
I have found that going back to xterm 229 works slightly better but
still has the issue (and that's kind of a pain as I have install some
obsolete libraries to get it working). This used to work without issue
with the old 6.8.x X servers. I have to have MS Outlook running at all
times as that is my work email client.
