    It has been a *long* time since I configured it, but here's what I found
    with some searching on my RH 9 box at home:

    You need to create a new file: /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/autocutsel and in
    this file, you need to have:

    #!/bin/bash

    /usr/local/bin/autocutsel &

    Then you need to chmod 755 that file, and then you need to restart your vnc
    service. Let me know if that works. If it doesn't, I'll keep looking.
