We've had some reports about this both for ThinLinc and upstream
TigerVNC. The issue has often been some application in the session that
is stealing the clipboard, and as a result so does the ThinLinc client
locally.

Try seeing if it happens with an extremely basic session, e.g. just an
xterm and no desktop environment.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
