+No copy/paste with VNC display with Windows guest
+
+There is no copy/paste functionality between a Windows guest and the VNC client.  This is a significant usability problem.
+
+One work-around is to run VNC inside of the guest.  But that appears to have more overhead than qemu's VNC display.
+
+Obviously, qemu's VNC display is just a display device and knows absolutely nothing about the Windows clipboard.  Thus, to interface with the guest's clipboard would require a helper app running in the guest that can hook into qemu.  This would probably be the best solution.
+
+There are probably not a lot of qemu developers interested in trying to write the helper app.  Not exactly an interesting job.  But since it is a significant usability problem, and many users would see this as a major oversight, I suggest leaving this bug open long-term as a hint so that some volunteer later looking for something to do might take pity on everyone and write this helper app.
