(How's that for a google-searchable title :))
I am between a rock and a hard place. If I start X-windows without
the -clipboard option, then I cannot cut and paste between my windows web
browser (mozilla) and my x-terminals using the middle mouse button.
If I do start X-windows with the -clipboard option, then Xemacs seems to not
be able to mark the region. Or rather, just after marking the region via the
mouse or by hitting ctrl-space and moving to the other end of the region, I
cannot use the region with the error: "Region is not active now"
This is my cygwin X-windows startup file
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
