Sorry I wasn't clear. Most of the large-selection Copy-and-pasting I'm doing is
from gnu/linux application to another gnu/linux application, both running in the
same VNC session as is CVS Emacs-22. 

The less frequent text copy-and-pasting from gnu/linux <-> WindowsXP are usually
much smaller files or selections. I do regularly use Samba for larger gnu/linux
-> Windows transfers.
