No clipboard support with X11forwarding?

I've successfully setup X11forwarding from Linux to Mac. Now I'm able to run Thunar and get a window locally.



But the clipboard is not shared between the Thunar window and Mac computer.



Any ideas?

  • @phg Weird, there's no xclip on Xquartz, but I just found out there's a preference dialog. I just need to check Enable syncing in Pasteboard tab. Now it works ....
