Data "Unable to obtain clipboard ownership"
Help! I work on a PC running Windows XP. I have installed the Hummingbird Suite Exceed 10.0. I launch 4 Xconfig sessions based on different *.cfg files along with the standard Xserver Xconfig (Exceed.cfg). I do this because I need to run graphical apps in separate windows. In any event, everything works great, however, it appears the Microsoft Clipboard and the Exceed clipboard are constantly battle for owership. I receive annoying "Unable to obtain clipboard ownership" pop-up windows, for which I have to acknowledge by select the single option "OK" button. This annoying pop-up window usually pops up as a window behind other windows. If I don't acknowledge it, the Xconfig window application freezes. Extremely annoying.

I checked the humming bird web site, and their solution (see below) does not work for me or others. Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening?

Hummingbird (unhelpful) Solution:

To fix this error message, please follow these steps:

Open Xconfig
Select "X Selection" or "Copy and Paste and X Selection"
disable "Copy on Focus Loss"
Save your Xconfig settings
Restart the Exceed X server and your application.
When you copy into the buffer, you will no longer experience the error message.

hobbit-nkview.cfg

HOBBIT-NKVIEW.CFG(5)						File Formats Manual					      HOBBIT-NKVIEW.CFG(5)

NAME

       hobbit-nkview.cfg - Configuration of the hobbitgraph CGI

SYNOPSIS

       $BBHOME/etc/hobbit-nkview.cfg

DESCRIPTION

       hobbit-nkview.cgi(1)  uses  the	configuration  file $BBHOME/etc/hobbit-nkview.cfg to determine which of the statuses currently in a red or
       yellow state should appear on the Critical Systems view.

       This file should not be edited manually. It is maintained by the hobbit-nkeedit.cgi(1) utility via a web-based frontend.

FILE PERMISSIONS

       Since the file is maintained by a web front-end tool, the userid running Web CGI scripts must have write-permission  to	the  file.   Typi-
       cally, this means it must have a group-ownership matching your webserver userid, and group-write permissions (mode 664).

       When  editing  the  file  with the web front-end, a backup file is created.  Therefore the hobbit-nkview.cfg.bak file should have identical
       permissions.
