Start up "vncconfig" on your linux boxen and all *should* be well. I say
"should" because I've had some cases where I just can't copy and paste from
my Windows machine at work to my linux box at home, but for the most part,
it just works.

Subject: Cutting and pasting (again)


   I am running VNC 4.0 between two Linux hosts, A and B. On A I run
the VNC client vncviewer, and on B the VNC server vncserver. When I
launch a VNC connection from A to B, on B a copy of my Gnome desktop
is launched.

  I open a gnome-terminal on A, and another on B. With the mouse, I
select some text in the window in A, and try to paste it into the
window in B. No go. I try it in the opposite direction. No go. The
cut-and-paste buffers in A and B seem to be unable to share data. Is
there a simple way around this?

  Let me emphasize the word "simple", because I have read about
solutions which aren't. That is, I could do the cut-and-paste on (say)
A, saving the pasted text to a file, which I then scp to B - thus
achieving my goal. The solutions I have seen seem to be no less
cumbersome than that :-(
