I have a licensed copy of MicroSoft Windows 7 professional installed and running as guest on my Linux server running qemu-kvm. This works just fine.

But I was unable to figure out how to Cut'n'paste text selections from a window of the Win7 VM into X11 or vice versa.

Is this possible? How?

As far as I know this is not yet supported.

When necessary, I work around it by connecting to the Windows VM via RDP (in my case using Remmina, but you can use whatever you like).

  • RDP is the best option; plus it will be more responsive as most of the graphics (including the mouse cursor) will be rendered by your RDP client rather than the VM. –  Feb 12 '15 at 11:55

VNC has no facility for clipboard passthrough. You might want to try spice, with the proper agents it works quite well.
