Robert,
I have been trying to figure out how your patch to xwinclip works. In
particular, I was wondering how it got notification that the selection had
changed when it was owned by another window. I can now sum up your changes
in a sentence:
XA_CUT_BUFFER0 is watched for changes and the selection is copied to the
Windows clipboard whenever cut buffer 0 is changed.
That may not be a completely clean way to solve the problem forever, but it
does work, at the very least.
