Through the cunning technique of reading other people's posts I have 
deduced (surprise!) that the log file is in /tmp
Anyway here is the output of diff -u1000 XWinrl-multiwindow.log 
XWinrl-multiwindow-clipboard.log
(in other words a diff between running with just the multiwindow option 
and running with the clipboard option too,
showing every single line of the files...)

This does indeed seem to show that the problem is in the way setlocale 
is called for with both of these options,
as Harold suggested.
