Subject: [gentoo-user] xfreerdp clipboard not working

1 I've been using rdesktop for several years and have always been able
2 to use Ctrl-V on the Windows desktop to paste stuff from the X11
3 clipboard.
4
5 Now I need to switch to xfreerdp because rdesktop doesn't implement a
6 new enough version of the RDP protocol.
7
8 I can't figure out how to get the clipboard to work in xfreerdp.
9
10 I start it, and it says it's loading the clipboard plugin
11
12 $ xfreerdp +clipboard /u:xxxxxx /p:yyyyyy /v:N.N.N.N
13 loading channel cliprdr
14 connected to N.N.N.N:3389
15
16 But no ctrl-V never pastes anything from the X11 clipboard the way it
17 always did with rdesktop.
18
19 All I can find in Google is a bunch of people talking about which
20 command-line syntax to use to get it to load the clibrdr plugin, and
21 that doesn't seem to be the problem.
22
23 Can anybody loan me a hint?
