One alternative could be to use something like Spice (which has copy
and paste and good user experience)
http://spice-space.org/
http://code.google.com/p/spice4xen/

For copy and paste only there are utilities such as:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/synergy2/
http://beyondcopy.sourceforge.net/

It seems that VNC does have some copy and paste ability too
(OpenXenManager and XenCenter implement copy and paste for
XCP/XenServer vnc consoles for example).
