Per `default installations instructions`_ the clipboard integration does
not work in guest xterm. The problem with xterm is that by default it
uses a different internal clipboard.
To fix, add the following to ~/.Xdefaults:
XTerm*selectToClipboard:true
XTerm.vt100.translations: #override \n\
Shift : ignore() \n\
Shift : insert-selection(CLIPBOARD,PRIMARY,CUT_BUFFER0)\n\
