From client mate to server twm I always get "No such window ...", e.g. me@client:~$ xwininfo -id 531 X Error: 9: Bad Drawable Request Major code: 14 ResourceID in failed request: 0x213 Serial number of failed request: 3 xwininfo: error: No such window with id 0x213. Then I tested from the twm/xterm client to a twm/xterm session on the server, see the attached Bug1633_nxagentHandleSelectionRequestFromXServer.log > * there's an option to include the clipboard content (or rather thedata being transferred) in the session log in DEBUG mode.
