XWin hangs upon text selection [error: clipboard does not contain CF_TEXT nor CF_UNICODETEXT]

[Saurabh Srivastava <saurabh_srivastava at yahoo dot com>]

Hi,

I installed Cygwin/X on my PC running WinME, on
Dec-24-2004 using setup.exe.  For some reason XWin
just hangs / freezes (almost) everytime I select text
in an xterm running bash shell.

I did search the FAQ and the mailing lists. I found
some postings related to above problem but I didn't
see any solution. 

I've captured and pasted the logs (using verbosity
level set to 10) at the end of the mail. The last line
in /tmp/XWin.log is the following: "clipboard does not
contain CF_TEXT nor CF_UNICODETEXT"

Any help / suggestion will be highly appreciated.

-thanks in advance,

Saurabh
