It has been a *long* time since I configured it, but here's what I found
with some searching on my RH 9 box at home:

You need to create a new file:  /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/autocutsel and in
this file, you need to have:

#!/bin/bash

/usr/local/bin/autocutsel &

Then you need to chmod 755 that file, and then you need to restart your vnc
service.  Let me know if that works.  If it doesn't, I'll keep looking.
