Re: Is there a Windows clipboard manager that doesn't clash with -clipboard parameter?

If I run glipper in a linux panel in Colinux, then I can use that, and I
imagine I could compile them for Cygwin instead, but the panel is
handled as a window (I'm using -multiwindow), and I'd rather use a
native Windows clipboard manager anyway, so I can only start X when I
need to.

Since xorg-server 1.6.0, we've reverted an upstream patch [1], which was causing the built-in clipboard synchronization client to fight with other clipboard monitoring applications.


Looking at the other responses, it seems like this has had the desired effect :-)
