Paste to but no cut from Xvnc?

[Quentin Stafford-Fraser]

Yes, this is in the FAQ, though not very clearly, I must admit.  Cut and
paste from the X server got left out in 3.3.2.  It will be in the next
release. Until then, if you patch Xvnc/programs/Xserver/dix/property.c as
follows, it should work:
