This is unlikely to happen with X2GoClient.exe, as Alex added a
"reaper" tool that terminates all X2GoClient.exe-spawned tasks when
X2GoClient.exe exits.

In that particular case, there is no "installation", both versions
reside in different directories, side by side, after I unzipped them
manually.
It is unlikely that the newer one would run the X server from a
totally different directory.

I will try running X2GoClient.exe in portable mode for my further
tests, to avoid that.

Also, it might depend on the sequence of copy/paste events.
The time I noticed that it wasn't working, the first attempt was
copying from the client and pasting to the server.
The time it worked, after going back and forth between versions, the
first copy was made on the server and the first paste on the client.

Again, I'll try to do some more experiments and will report back.
