Package: vnc4server
Version: 4.1.1+X4.3.0-39
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
VNC regular desktop session has no cut & paste
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Workaround was to run 'vncconfig -iconic &'
at the top of '~/.vnc/xstartup'
* What was the outcome of this action?
Desktop session starts with cut and paste function
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The default 'xterm' path in 'xstartup' runs
vncconfig but full desktop environments (which are
commented out) do not. By moving vncconfig to the
top both paths are supported.

Including the 'unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_MANAGER' line mentioned in
previous bug report (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=832905),
my current, lovely xstartup script now looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
# Insure clipboard transfer no matter what
vncconfig -iconic &
# Uncomment the following three lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
x-window-manager &
