So I guess I'm supposed to simply do an Edit->Copy in the server session
window of - let's say - Linux' Leadpad and an Edit->Paste in Windows' native
Notepad then, for example? Does not work.

I'm using this one.

Trying to use the shipped Vcxsrv results in a client start-up error ("Can't
start X.Org-Server. Please check your installation.") which immediately shuts
down the client disabling to change the setting again. :-(

After fixing this problem in the registry (wrong default path to vcxsrv.exe
by the installation routine) the problem persists. Clipboard does not work.
