Well, looking at the rate of progress on fd.o bug #5735, it seems reasonable
to hope that it will be fixed in a year or two :-)
I've applied the patch I've suggested there to today's snapshot, uploaded a at
[1]. Perhaps you could try that out and see if that improves things for you?

Jon,
I downloaded, bunzip2, and installed the new version of Xwin.
I restarted Xwin using the new version.
I ran some preliminary cut and paste tests, and it seems to work
correctly... i.e. I can perform multiple "cut from Xwin & Paste to WinXP",
without intervening "cut from WinXP & Paste to Xwin" without error.
I will continue running the new version while I perform my daily work, and
will advise you if I have a recurrence of the problem.
Thanks a lot for this temporary fix.
