I have now updated to the latest XOrg version of Cygwin/X, it's
version 6.8.2.0-4 (well it's the latest I got from one of the UK
mirrors).  I still have the disappearing cut/paste bug when I put
Windows 2000 into standby mode.

XWin.exe reports that it's starting XWin with:-
 XWin -query 192.168.13.1 -clipboard -lesspointer -screen 0 1600 1140


So has anyone else seen this problem and/or have any ideas what might
be causing the problem?
