This is correct.

Problems like this are occasionally reported, but I've never been able to
reproduce them.

Can you give a detailed set of reproduction steps e.g. what application are
your cutting from, pasting to?

Can you start your XWin with the additional option '-logverbose 3', and attach
the XWin.0.log generated when you reproduce the problem?

Are you running any Windows programs which continuously monitor the clipboard
like 'Clipbook Viewer', VNC client, etc.?
