[X2Go-User] Copy and paste between systems stops working

[Norm Green]

....and of course as soon as I sent this email the copy and paste 
problem occurs on 3.5.99.23!

Summary: copy text from a windows app and paste to the x2go Linux 
desktop stops working.  I verified the data is in the window clipboard 
by pasting it into a different windows app.

copy and paste starts working again once I restart the windows x2go 
session and copy the data to the windows clipboard again.
