the trinity build. Xorg+fluxbox for the environment. One problem I'm having
is copy/paste between the host and guest does not work. I have the
LinuxAdditions installed and shared folders (mounted uid,gid), X, flux, and
copy/paste within the guest works fine, but I can't get it to copy/paste
from host-to-guest or guest-to-host. xorg.conf is:

Anybody know a way to get this working.

Can't you just ssh into your guest ? Alternatively, I get better results
using rdesktop and it's clipboard settings while using a Windows guest
instead of using the integrated display.
