Or is this just not possible? In my example, I use Konsole. I cannot highlight the text and paste it into the VM. Instead, I highlight the text and right click within the window. Here I have the option to `copy' I can go into the VM and `paste' this text into my application. If I want to move text from the VM to X, I `copy' within the VM and in my X application (let's say Konsole again), I right-click and select `paste' If it's pure X, you don't have to do the above, you simply highlight and middle-mouse button to paste. The difference is implicit (X) versus explicit (X <-> VM) copy/paste'ing. I hope that helps.
