Clipboard not working in rdesktop to XP

Does remote copy and paste not work while connected to XP on stock 11.1 ?

I tried recompiling rdesktop 1.6.0 from source. Same issue.

Excerpt from documentation:

-r clipboard:[off|PRIMARYCLIPBOARD|CLIPBOARD]': enable clipboard
redirection.
'PRIMARYCLIPBOARD' looks at both PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD
when sending data to server.
'CLIPBOARD' looks at only CLIPBOARD.


Did not work:

-r clipboard:PRIMARYCLIPBOARD
-r clipboard:CLIPBOARD


Worked:

-r clipboard:PRIMARY
-r clipboard:off

Serendipitous. Also, the -f option does not really mean full screen on opensuse. The recompiled version seems to interpret this correctly.

Local copy and remote paste does not work. This was not an issue for me.

    Version 1.6.0.
    '-r clipboard:[off|PRIMARYCLIPBOARD|CLIPBOARD]': enable clipboard
    redirection.
    'PRIMARYCLIPBOARD' looks at both PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD
    when sending data to server.
    'CLIPBOARD' looks at only CLIPBOARD.
