The impact of doing this in gtk3 would be greater than doing it in SPICE
only, I don't really expect gtk+ people to be open to such a change in
gtk3 at this point. But yes I did not ask, so I could have a nice
surprise ;)
Once again, spice-gtk is a very special gtk+ application in that one of
its features is to let arbitrary code interact with the clipboard. This
is not the case of the case of most gtk+ applications.
I agree with you that some help from the windowing/toolkit would be good
to have, but in this case, I doubt we are going to be able to do better
than managing this in spice-gtk.
