Inconsistent copy/paste

I'm running vnc 4 on windows and a vnc 4 server on linux
I'm also running vncconfig with all the boxes checked in the little window.
I'm running on an xfxe3 desktop.
I'm having a real hard time trying to characterize this problem
since it is inconsistent.
The symptoms change from day to day
Currently, I can copy text in windows2k and middle mouse it into linux nedit,
but I can't middle mouse into linux vi. But, if I select text in
linux nedit, I can middle mouse THAT into linux vi.
In the reverse direction I get weirdnesses also. For example, I
select 15 lines data in a linux application, and when I paste in windows
I only get the first 2 lines. If I middle mouse into linux vi or nedit
I get all lines.
For a while things seemed to work, but now it's broken again. Ask me tomorrow
and it will do something different --- maybe pasting into windows will work.
Right now the linux nedit ctl-v ctl-c copy/paste isn't working either, but
the middle mouse stuff within nedit works fine.
I tried exiting vncconfig and restarting it, rebooting windows,
and other things. (everything but restarting the server)
Any ideas will be appreciated.
