I have seen this problem occasionally but had been unable to pin it down to a particular set of applications. The problem I see here is that the copy buffer *is* set on the viewer end once, but not subsequently. Thanks Tim. I know nothing on how vnc or X11 work, but I can imagine that a good way to auto-copy from local selections would be (supposing that events are available): * vnc registers itself as a listener for the x11_clipboard_has_changed (or similar) event. * when the event is received, vnc copies the local clipboard to the remote clipboard. If events are not available, a solution could be to copy the local clipboard to the remote clipboard when the vnc window is selected (or activated, or enabled - don't know the exact word). I've seen that I can select and paste (with the mouse middle button) from gvim to gnome-terminal and from gnome-terminal to gvim, so probably the problem is not in the programs nor in the local clipboard. Seems to be something in the way vnc manages the thing. Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you! Please try to reproduce this bug with latest vnc in FC5 closing, fc3 isn't supported now |
