[SOLVED] rdesktop clipboard my super annoyance
I can copy and paste from remote machine to local machine and vice versa just fine with one exception. When I copy text in the rdesktop window (remote machine) I can paste it in any local window if, and only if, I do not select any text first. For example If i copy www.google.com from the remote machine, then highlight the existing text in the firefox address bar, hit delete, then right click and paste (or ctrl-v). Nothing will be pasted and clipboard is empty.
1. Copy some text from remote machine.
2. Paste into Kate
WORKS GREAT
1. Copy some text from remote machine.
2. just Highlight some text in Kate (don't copy it)
2. Paste into Kate
NOT WORKING
Anybody have this problem or a solution???

Highlighting text copies it to the X clipboard.

Nope, not in KDE4. I just highlighted text and it didnt replace what was in my clipboard.

Re: [SOLVED] rdesktop clipboard my super annoyance
Found a solution.
'-r clipboard:[off|PRIMARYCLIPBOARD|CLIPBOARD]': enable clipboard redirection.
'PRIMARYCLIPBOARD' looks at both PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD when sending data to server.
'CLIPBOARD' looks at only CLIPBOARD.
If i use -r clipboard:CLIPBOARD everything works fine and I never lose what's in my clipboard just by highlighting something. The default setting of PRIMARYCLIPBOARD is the problem.
Found good info here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph … tid=381349. Seems like CLIPBOARD should be the default settings for normal desktop environments.
