Hi,

I am using Chicken of the vnc to connect to a Unix session running gnome. After some struggle, I got the copy paste from vnc session to mac working fine but I am not able to paste stuff copied from my mac onto the vnc. I suspect there is some issue with synchronizing of clipboard. how do I fix that?

Thanks,
J.A.

Chicken of the VNC hasn't really been updated since 2006.
And the copy-paste queries are since before then. Newest is still 2.04 beta from 2006 (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/14099), listing 10.4 as highest system requirement.
This (http://mailman.ravenbrook.com/pipermail/mac-users/2008-July/000219.html) summarizes it I guess.
Try something newer like this http://www.testplant.com/products/vine_viewer
or UltraVNC etc http://www.uvnc.com/index.html
