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

[Norm Green]

I am running the new nx libs 3.5.99.22 on Unbutu 16.04 and access the 
Linux machine from a windows 7 machine running x2go client 4.1.2.0 .
Just now I cannot copy from the Linux desktop and paste on the windows side.
Copy on goes fine but paste on the windows side shows an empty 
clipboard.  I've tried the same 3 times with the same results.  I'm 
guessing if I restart my x2go session that copy and paste it will work 
once again.

In any case, the copy and paste problems are not all fixed by the new nx 
libs.
