It would not, as the official builds have been found to work fine by other people. So it's something specific to your system. > My problem is very peculiar. > > 1.

It might be good to know that VNC/RFB does not have the X11 concepts of separate primary/clipboard. So the client and server will merge the two. So in other words, you are experiencing the following issues: 1) Primary selection isn't detected from any application. 2) konsole do not work with either primary nor clipboard. (xterm only has primary, so it's covered by 1)) I can reproduce 1) with xterm and emacs, but no other application. E.g. gedit and firefox work fine for me.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
