Dear VNC developers,

It is also a cut&paste problem.
the VNC server is running on a Solaris 8 box, and the client is running on 
Windows 2000.

The scenario is:
1) start gvim and open a txt file
2) copy some text to Cut_buffer0 (by clicking the button on toolbar)
3) paste in VNC Client. The content is copied to the Windows application.
4) copy another text to Cut_buffer0 in gvim
5) paste again in VNC client. But the content is what you copy at step 2)!
6) start a dtpad in VNC server, and press CTRL-INSERT. You can find that the 
content of Cut_buffer0 is in fact what you copy at step 4)! However, this 
content isn't transferred to VNC client.

However, the reverse direction of copy&paste (Win -> Solaris) is good.

VIM doesn't have this problem. The CTRL-INSERT/SHIFT-INSERT pairs work fine for 
it.

I know that 'vncconfig -poll 1000' can work around gvim's problem (thank 
Tristan :-). But I am afraid that it isn't a perfect solution, because 
sometimes I do need to have different Cut_buffer0 and Primary_selection.

Since dtpad can get the new content of Cut_buffer0, I guess VNC can do better 
in monitoring the buffer's change.

And, because vim/gvim is an open-source program, it might be easier for VNC 
developers to find out whether there is a more suitable solution for clipboard.

Is it possible to improve the clipboard solution of VNC?

Thanks & regards,
Wesleyz
