Hi lcd, Many thanks for your detailed instructions and explanations! I really appreciate it!
I did the steps you told me and in fact my yanks can appear on both the remote and local xclipboard windows, even though I still cannot paste the results on the local machine. So the remote transmission works. Do you happen to have any idea why I cannot paste my yanks on the local machine? Many thanks.
