If you don't use CLCL does everything work ok?

I've got similar problems with the clipboard but with another clipboard history tool (CLCL).
It seems that, at some point, X puts something in the clipboard with a format not correctly managed by CLCL and until I put something else in the clipboard (and that's not always easy to achieve) the clipboard does
not work correctly.
Ciao, Danilo

I have MS Office XP on WinXP SP2. Disabling the Office Clipboard as suggested doesn't work for me. Once I get in this state copy/paste functionality is broken for all apps. To get the Windows clipboard working I have to kill the X server using Task Manager as telling it to exit using the right-click menu on the X icon in notification area doesn't work. It looks like the X server hangs on shutdown.
I have found that going back to xterm 229 works slightly better but still has the issue (and that's kind of a pain as I have install some obsolete libraries to get it working). This used to work without issue with the old 6.8.x X servers. I have to have MS Outlook running at all times as that is my work email client.
