Kali with XRDP and windows remote desktop client

Hi all,


I recently installed the latest version of Kali, fully updated with xrdp.


I am able to connect to Gnome using windows 10 remote desktop, however when I am connected I can?t copy, cut or paste anything within the Kali machine.

I connect using Xvnc

I would like to be able to paste text from terminal windows to other app.


Is there an (easy) fix for this? I have tried switching desktops to LXDE but the problem remains.

I am sure I am missing something simple but google searches have not been able to give me a working solution.


Thank you in advance,

Regards,
JC
