Bug Description

Ubuntu ver: 11.0
vinagre ver: 3.2.1-0

Couldn't follow: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage.

When I copy something from ubuntu into the clipboard and then I use the paste function in windows through vinagre, one of my private programs, crashes. The string is correctly pasted on text editor but when I open clipbrd.exe, an error message appears telling me I haven't got enough memory. The cursor intermits between waiting shape and normal shape, and the window with the error that should be showing the clipboard flashes as if being opened or closed.

I can easily reproduce it in my computer.

I can confirm that the clipboard corruption happens with simply minimizing vinagre and opening it again.(sometimes)
I'm not sure exactly what causes this, but 100% of the time I copy something on ubuntu and paste it on the server, it makes my program crash and clibrd act weird.
Is there any file or logs I could upload to show what happens?
