I use the vnc viewer from RealVNC and the X.org server from cygwin I and I don't have any copy and paste problems. My problems with the clipboard on Windows seem to be related to the Offfice clipboard application. Once I shut that down, everything seems fine. In fact, I copy/paste to/from the RealVNC viewer and X apps all the time.

I have reported a connection to vncclient (RealVNC) - in fact, I don't recall having problems with vncclient not running. These days I use one or the other - so far, so good. Unfortunately, though, I am in the habit of cutting and pasting between vncclient and cygwin X, so if I can be of any tracking the problem down, please let me know. If I have vncclient and an xterm running, simply selecting text on the xterm is sufficient to cause the problem, which I confirm by raising the xterm over the vncclient, then clicking the vncclient to raise it (it then exhibits responsiveness problems). Today I noticed a new problem, which may or may not be related: [SNIP] mike-ayers-lap> ssh -Y -l mayers mikeayers-linux-2 Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.

The only changes I have made since it last worked was (1) update cygwin, including X, and (2) add " -- -multiwindow -clipboard" to my invocation of startx (I used to get those by default). Let me know if you have trouble reproducing this.
