Clipboard and RDP problems

Finally found out how to solve that annoying problem whereby the clipboard gives up the ghost when using RDP/rdesktop - I always imagined it was down to the linux side of the equation but managed to get it back by killing rdpclip.exe on the windows side. I can now cut and paste within the RDP session but not between linux and windows which means I can't cut and paste the link which suggested killing rdpclip.exe (ho hum). I'll leave that part of the problem to another day.
