Sync clipboard between remote and host when using VNC on SLES

I need to run simulation tool (GUI application) on our EXSi testing server booted with SLES11 P4 (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Patch 4).

So I created simple VNC server session by vncserver -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 from ssh terminal.

VNC session created and by default it will load TWM desktop when you access the remote server with VNC. It very lightweight but too geeky and slugish for me. I prefer KDE or GNOME.

To load KDE, you need to modify ~/.vnc/xstartup file. Comment or remove twm & and replace with that line with /usr/bin/startkde. Then kill existing VNC session and start VNC session. For Gnome just change it with /usr/bin/gnome. Only one desktop type should be inside your configuration.

Sync clipboard between you and remote server (SLES/SUSE) on VNC

I need to transfer some string data with copy and paste between me and remote server that connected with VNC, but by default both client and host clipboard are not transferred and I don’t like it.
