I have a moderately complicated setup which I will attempt to explain.

There are two computers and three screens on my desk. The leftmost is a
laptop, and the rightmost is also connected to the laptop. The laptop is
running XP and some free version of VNC 4 (4.1.1 built on Mar 11/2005) both
client and server. The right screen, controlled by the windows laptop, is
connected to a remote linux box in full screen mode. The center screen is
connected to a linux box running x2vnc 1.6 twice, so that mousing to the
left or right goes onto the windows box.

Under normal circumstances, it all works fine. In particular, cutting and
pasting from any desktop to any desktop works.

However, sometimes, the cut'n'paste from windows to the remote linux box
seems to stop working. Running xcutsel on linux and copying around the
buffers doesn't seem to have any effect. I can still copy from that remote
linux box up into the windows box or the local linux box; I just can't paste
into it (except what it already has from copying something out).

This problematic remote linux box is the one I have least control of. It is
running:

06/09/06 06:54:47 Xvnc version 3.3.3r2+tight1.2.2

Can someone give me steps to gather more information so that I can figure
out under what cases copy and paste to the remote box breaks and how I could
work around it?

thanks
alex
