Try using a 2 step approach using xclipboard. I believe the problem you are having is the same as I have had with Solaris. Cut and past can work through cutbuffers or selections and most applications (including Xvnc) use one or the other. As memory serves, Xvnc uses the older cutbuffers that work for mouse selection of text in xterms and other "X" tools. Most modern apps use selections.
I have never found autocutsel or xcutsel worked as hoped for me. Try opening xclipboard, then: 1. copy from windows 2. paste to xclipboard with middle mouse button 3. select all text in xclipboard window 4. paste normally into your application. Did it work?
