Since this is a X11-related question it really belongs on the cygwin-xfree (at) cygwin.com mailing list, where I've CC:d it. The X11 clipboard and windows clipboard are integrated. You don't have to do anything special to copy/paste between them. In rxvt and xterm, selecting text with the mouse also selects it, so you can just Ctrl-V in Notepad. To paste in rxvt / xterm you normally use the middle mouse button (which can sometimes be emulated on 2 button mice by pressing both at the same time) or by pressing Shift-Insert. You can find more details in the manpages.
