You need to run an X server on your machine, and you need a ssh
connection with ForwardX11Trusted, that is, "ssh -Y" (and it actually
has to succeed; see "ssh -v -Y" to make sure). "ssh -X" is not enough.

It's probably a good idea to drop "unnamed", and escape '\'. Put
something like this in your remote vimrc:
set clipboard=unnamedplus,autoselect,exclude:cons\\\\|linux
This will make Vim use the '+' register for all yank, delete,
change, and put operations, which many people find easier to work with.

Open xclipboard on the local machine, and yank a line in the remote
vim. You should see the line appear in xclipboard, and this should work
both with a remote gvim, and with a remote console vim.
