https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50598 --- Comment #6 from Pau Coma Ramirez <paucoma(a)gmail.com> --- So going back to the original point where I saw a difference.. Using `wine start` on the Ubuntu unity launcher is the problematic point. I do not understand what the ubuntu unity launcher is doing when it executes what is specified in `Exec` line, in the `.desktop` file. Clipboard Not Shared from wine to X11: Launched through `.desktop` Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/paui/.winex86" WINEDEBUG='fixme-all' wine start "C:\\opt\\pdfxedit\\PDFXEdit.exe" Z:%f Clipboard gets Shared: Launched through `.desktop` Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/paui/.winex86" WINEDEBUG='fixme-all' wine /home/paui/.winex86/drive_c/opt/pdfxedit/PDFXEdit.exe Z:%f When the same commands specified in the Exec line via a Terminal get executed Clipboard gets shared, in both cases. "local" clipboards always work in all the cases. I tried to add the /b option "Don't create a new console for the program." as specified [here](https://wiki.winehq.org/Start) but I am guessing it is not interpreted correctly and the program does not get executed.. or perhaps I have misunderstood how that option should work. Anyway putting this to rest for now and as default will attempt to Avoid using wine start in the future. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
