My understanding is that the clipboard funtionality in wxWindows uses the
OLE clipboard APIs on Windows and emulates that model on the other
platforms.  Basically it does not actually put the data in the clipboard
when a cut or copy happens, but just meta data about the data (type, size,
etc.)  When another app does a paste, the app with the data then copies the
data directly to the other app.  If the app with the data terminates before
the paste then there is effectivly no data in the clipbard any longer.

wxWindows can be built to use the old win32 clipboard APIs instead of the
OLE ones, but I think we'll loose more functionality than we gain.
