It doesn't work. There's a patch around that emulates paste from the
unix desktop to the windows desktop by translating the text you paste
into key events. A bit rude, though still quite a hack :).

However, have some patience. Implementing support for cut-n-paste is
part of the goal of my Master Thesis work, and I plan to start looking
into the problem next week. We'll see if I succeed within the time I
have available.

Umm.. Try the -K switch. I'm not sure it works though, it doesn't work
for me right now (Sawfish, Alt-Fn bound to "switch to desktop
n"). Could be a problem with my keybindings.

Hmm.. reading the code, fullscren + don't-grab-the-keyboard doesn't
seem to work. Someone with more knowledge about how X input works will
have to explain why, because that I don't understand looking quickly
at the code.
