Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
1. Copy plain text, range x20 - x79, on vnc client side with STRG+INS.
 Tested with several versions of xthightvncviewer, UltraVNC ( Windows ).
2. Paste with SHIFT+INS on server side.
 Native / KVM.
 Debian 11 / 12.
 Crontab '@reboot x11vnc -auth guess -usepw -shared -forever -loop'.
 LXDE / XFCE.
 With / without clipboard manager.
 Into terminal / mousepad / firefox.
3. In the other direction, server to client, always works as expected.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
Effective : Debian 10.
Ineffective : Any tested combination of the factors listed above.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
No insertion or
 insertion of the last clipboard content generated on the server itself.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Insertion of the clipboard content generated on the client.
