I would too; it tends to be more responsive than a vnc server on the guest
(especially for hvm), and you don't have to fool with 10 different command
line options. Qemu-dm usually just gets it right.

Correct.

And then that's the downside of qemu-dm - there are no options :-( Vino had
the same problem. I seem to remember that kde's krdc (client) and krdb
(server) do support the clipboard, as well as tightvnc.
What I do, since I only need to copy & paste urls (which I'm guaranteed to
mistype), is exit vnc to qemu-dm, connect tightvnc to the guest's tightvnc
server, copy to the clipboard, and go back to vnc to qemu-dm if that is
preferable. Since tightvnc server supports shared connections, it may not
even be necessary to exit the qemu-dm connection. The other alternative is to
paste to a file, and xfer the file via samba, nfs, etc. You get used to
it. :-)
