I did a major re-write of the clipboard handler in the TigerVNC Java viewer a while back, so this is an area where the TurboVNC viewer will be significantly different. The best thing I can say is to try the TigerVNC client and see. Issue #20 was fixed, but to be honest what Brett is describing sounds an awful lot like issues that we struggled with in my customer's environment for a long time. What I finally found was that there is an undocumented '-poll' option to vncconfig that seemed to help tremendously. I forget what we set this to, 100 IIRC. I have also found that a lot of clipboard related problems seem to stem from having multiple copies of vncconfig running. In our case, people were starting it via their .login (or worse, .cshrc...). We've since moved to using the /etc/xdg facility to auto-start a single copy on login and it's worked great. -brian -- Sent from Gmail Mobile
