I have found a workaround for the issue. I didn't
want X to be a server to I used the "-nolisten tcp"
option. Now, this option is executed successfully.
However, it seems that this causes paste from windows
to fail. If I start X without the "-nolisten tcp"
option, I am able to paste without any problems.
I don't want to run X as a server. Can anyone explain
this behavior?
Thanks.
