[winswitch] Clipboard problems with xpra >= 0.9.0

Never mind, clipboard should be fixed for *nix clients (again - sorry
about that):
http://xpra.org/trac/changeset/3399/xpra
and for v0.9.x:
http://xpra.org/trac/changeset/3401/xpra

I will try to push the bug fix asap.
In the meantime, it would really help if people could confirm that this
fix has not broken MS Windows clients again...
(aka "greedy" clients in the code)

Thanks
Antoine
