Problem with my solution above - copy/paste does not work between a nested
Xephyr window and the clipboard running in X - there is no way I can find to
copy/paste between PDFXCview running in Xephyr and my other programs running
natively in Linux.

As a solution, I tried using xnest and xinit from the following page, but no
success:
http://wiki.winehq.org/256ColorsWorkarounds

At last, I tried the final solution on the page, running PDFXCview in a new
display via vnc. It worked, with copy/paste. Colors were limited to 32bit via
vnc, and I found it running too slow at 32bit so I dropped it back to 16bit.
Overall its running better visually and with copy/paste functionality between
windows.

To do this, I added vnc4server and xvnc4viewer via Synaptic in Ubuntu. I used
the following command to get a 1280x800 window running in maximum (for vnc)
color of 16 bit:
vnc4server :2 -cc 3 -depth 16 -geometry 1280x800 -localhost 

Then I ran:
xvnc4viewer :2

This brought up a window with a terminal. From there, I changed to the
PDFXCview directory, and used:
wine PDFXCview.exe

After I stopped the vnc window, I needed to run the following command to stop
the vnc4server:

vnc4server -kill :2

As far as I could tell at first glance, everything is working under vnc. I was
able to open a document, add some comments, save and close. I was also able to
do a directory search, and open various documents from the search window. It
was quite zippy running at 16 bit, and there was no noticeable degredation of
color or layout.
