This sound rational for me: if you copy it, you copy it on the KDE-box, and thus in the KDE buffer. Windows only provide a way of interacting with the KDE-box.Quoted

The problem:
If I am using Konsole as my terminal in KDE, anything I select there into the copy/paste buffer, does not get "passed" out to my Window's copy/paste buffer. I.e. if I select a block of text in my VNC session, and then want to paste it into a Window's app (like Word) or something using Control-V, it does not work.

However, if I use just a plain old xterm as my terminal in KDE, I *can* do this.

If you only select it, it is only in the SELECTION clipboard (pastable by middle mouse click).
Very likely VNC only accesses the PRIMARY clipboard, where the usual copy actions copy to (CTRL+C, "Copy" from context menu)
Try to copy the selected text using "Copy" from the context menu (right button menu).

But why use vnc to access a console? It means that a lot of visual information have to be transmitted during the session, while you only use simple text. If you use ssh, only text is send (encrypted), and Windows takes care of displaying the text. That means that you can select and copy-paste it (I guess).

So, I tried using the "copy" command from the context menu as suggested, and that still did
not seem to work. Maybe the problem isn't w/ Konsole, but with Kilpper?
