Copy+paste between X2go client and X2go server with Windows (XP) as a  
client and VcXsrv as XServer does work. However, the behaviour is not  
as a normal user would expect it.

1.
copy+paste _from_ Windows application _to_ unix application in X2go session
-> works well

2.
copy+paste _from_ unix application in X2go session _to_ Windows  
application does work, but...

... the user has to press CTRL+v (paste) and keep it pressed until the  
keyboard starts repeating the letter pressed (like pressing the key  
,,v'' and holding it down for a bit and then you get  
,,vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv'' - do that with STRG+v and you will see  
your string pasted into your Windows application).

The above behaviour seems extraodinary. Has anyone else encountered  
such a pattern with VcXsrv (or any other Win32 XServer) and has an  
idea about it?

@Phil: if you can confirm the described issue, could you cross-post it  
to the VcXsrv developer?

Thanks+Greets,
Mike
