I have a Xubuntu linux host and a Windows XP guest and the bidrectional 
clipboard works 99% of the time in the "copy from linux, paste to 
windows" direction.  It works 1% of the time in the "copy from windows, 
paste to linux" direction.  It's been like that for me for some few 
years now and I've just lived with it because it's a minor nuisance only.

Is there some secret sauce to make this work better?

If I get with the times and go to Windows7 or 8 will it work better?  
Anybody with a Windows 7 or 8 guest who can comment on the bidirectional 
clipboard?

I only use the Windows guest for a few specific utilities, and there is 
no specific advantage for me to upgrade that past XP, but this was 
annoying enough today that I'm thinking about trying it.
