Clipboard depends on the server you are connecting to. vncviewer from tightvnc 
passes the clipboard very well if you are using tightvnc server on the guest, 
instead of connecting to the dom0 ip (based on qemu-dm or xen-vncfb). For hvm 
domus, this can be very slow, However, for Windows, rdesktop is very good at 
passing the clipboard (among other things).
