Thank you very much. Since you suggested that it's a guest application I've 
killed them one by one and found an autocutsel process in the guest to be 
guilty. (I thought I would not use it in the guest.)

This message however still appears (but only once) when I select a text in the 
host:

spice-vdagent[3676]: primary: received release while not owning client 
clipboard

Do you still need me to try it with the patch or do you have all information 
now?

Regards, Thomas Koch
