[NTLUG:Discuss] Copy/Paste in VNC - SOLVED!

[David Simmons]

After RTFM about the version of VNCServer that is base with Fedora, I
found the secret....here's an excerpt from the MAN vncconfig page:

-----------------------------------------
vncconfig  is used to configure and control a running instance of Xvnc,
or any other X server with the VNC extension.  Note that it  cannot be
used to control VNC servers prior to version 4.

When run with no options, it runs as a kind of "helper" application for
Xvnc.  Its main purpose when run in this mode is to support clipboard
transfer to and from the VNC viewer(s).  Note that without a running
instance of vncconfig there will be no clipboard support.
----------------------------------------

So, it was as simple as running:

vncconfig -nowin &

on my server.....now Copy/Paste just magically works.

Hope this helps reduce 'forehead bang'....
