Cygwin X clipboard integration
Ok, this has been driving me INSANE for weeks now. I use the Cygwin X server to connect to a Linux machine via XDMCP so I can have a real desktop on my Windows box at work. But the clipboard integration between Cygwin X and Windows hasn’t worked for quite a while for me. Finally found a fix and I’m THRILLED!
Just edit your gdm.conf file (on a Debian system this is at /etc/gdm/gdm.conf, YMMV with other systems) and add (or change) a line in the [daemon] section that reads “KillInitClients=false”. Restart GDM and everything should work fine.
