Re: Various issues about copy/paste between Xvnc and Win2K vncviewer
I wound up modifying my vncserver perl script to include launching vncconfig. That saved having to tell many, many users to change their xstartup file (or me having to do it). - Jeff On Wed, 2004-01-07 at 15:53, James Weatherall wrote: > Lionel, > > You should use Xvnc 4b4 and remember to run vncconfig in the Xvnc > session in order for the clipboard to work. > > Cheers, > > Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. > > On Wed, 2004-01-07 at 22:49, Lionel Ulmer wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > Just wondering if anyone had the same issues than me : > > > > - with Xvnc 3.3.x and either vncviewer 3.3.x or 4.0b4, copy paste works > >fine except for copy / paste from GTK 1.x / 2.x apps.

It's working beautifully now (and by disabling the CompareFB option which slows stuff down on my old Ultra workstation, it works as fast, if not faster, than 3.3.X). It's now adopted by a lot of people :-) (especially the good mouse wheel support + the better support for the French keyboard). By the way, if the 'vncconfig' stuff was documented somewhere, I am sorry to have asked a FAQ on this list.

Lionel, You should use Xvnc 4b4 and remember to run vncconfig in the Xvnc session in order for the clipboard to work. Cheers, Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.

Various issues about copy/paste between Xvnc and Win2K vncviewer
Hi all, Just wondering if anyone had the same issues than me : - with Xvnc 3.3.x and either vncviewer 3.3.x or 4.0b4, copy paste works fine except for copy / paste from GTK 1.x / 2.x apps. Basically, if I select something in an xterm, I can 'Ctrl-V' it in Windows. If I do the same in the text widget of a Gtk application, I can properly paste it in, for example, emacs or an xterm, but it won't change the Windows clipboard (ie I need to copy from Gtk, paste to emacs, re-copy and the paste in Windows). This may have something to do that in X, AFAIK, there are two selection buffers (primary and clipboard) and maybe Gtk only update one of them and VNC uses the other. Did not investigate more yet by looking at the Gtk code. - by testing Xvnc 4.0b4 + XFree 4.3.0, copy paste between Xvnc and vncviewer (whatever the version) does not work at all, be it for standard of Gtk apps (but there, keyboard works perfectly, even my French AZERTY one :-) ). So I am wondering what I could do to help debugging this (or how the clipboard handling is done in the VNC code for me to debug this a bit :-) ).
