CBee Only with xclipboard (nice thing) open, I can copy in WinXP and paste in Linux. Why?? When I close xclipboard only copy in Linux and paste in WinXP works.
THis is due to the multiple buffers in X11 and the one that is used: There are different buffers for cut-copy-paste and for selection. With X11, the default is to use the selection buffer: Just select what you need and press the middle-mouse button to paste. Works roughly everywhere (in X11).
With vnc, the selection buffer is copied between the sessions, not the copy buffer. That is what you see withthe xclipboard application and thats an app to work withboth if neded.
On most X11 systems, the buffers are copied as needed. However, Xvnc is just as nice to not interfear with this and only use the select buffer. I think this has changed between vnc3 and vnc4.

I have a problem with VNC-Server 4.1.1-1 on Linux and VNC-Viewer 4.0 (Built on Jun 15 2004) on WinXP. I start vncconfig & on Suse 8.1 Linux
and I can Copy in Linux and Paste in Windows. But when I Copy in WinXP
and Paste in Linux the clipboard seems to be empty. What is going wrong?
How do you paste in linux? If you use some edit->paste menu, try pasting
with the middle mouse button. On vnc version 3, that was the way to paste.
Then, with `xclipboard`, you can see there is more than just one
clipboard in X11 (linux, unix e.a.).
Finally there is some clipboard (cut,copy,paste) info in the
documentation on the website. Some settings might offend you.
