That is *precisely* what VNC is: an open-source IP KVM. And please don't turn this into "you're stupid", because I've seen others with the same setup. As mentioned, I know of a government agency with highly competent IT staff who had a similar setup: normal and sensitive work is on the desktop/notebook and Internet access (which is considered insecure) is on a remote machine, with a viewer on the desktop. To make it clear: I take offense in the copying being *automatic*. I have nothing against the clipboard feature, per se. But if something happens automatically, how am I supposed to know that it happens? The user should make a conscious choice. That thinking would also help him realize the risk.
