You need to let the guest know that clipboard data is available.
The guest can request those data (any time). It is not possible
to match the ctrl+v keyboard event with the following request,
although it would be possible to make it available from then on
in client side.

Though other legitimate clipboard request wouldn't work (via menu etc).
