I have VNC enterprize 4.1 running on a Redhat EL4 server through 
xinetd.  All configurations are as specified and VNC works with KDE desktop.

But!

The cut/copy/paste does not work.  vncconfig is not being loaded at 
startup.  James W. in several posts (per google on vnc xinetd xstartup 
vncconfig) states to add vncconfig -nowin &  to the xstartup file.  It 
was already in the xstartup file so I moved it around without any success.

I renamed the xstartup file xstartup.old in /etc/vnc and reconnected to 
my server.  I found that using XVnc with xinetd does not execute the 
xstartup file because I logged into the server.  I found one post that 
stated that xinetd and Xvnc would not use the xstartup but it did not 
specify how to get vncconfig to load.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  Cut/copy/paste would be nice for many 
things.

Is this a bug?

Thank you
Joe
