[Spice-devel] [spice-gtk [rfc] 0/2] Clipboard managers and Spice

[Victor Toso]

From: Victor Toso <me at victortoso.com>

Hi,

Several iteractions trying to avoid some bug in X11 but in the end I
found the iteraction with Clibpoard managers (or any other application
that request/set clipboard data) a bit more urgent.

Simple try here, to not allow another application to request clipboard
data from guest while the user is theoretically interacting with that
guest machine as spice client holds the keyboard-grab.

As pointed out by elmarco [0], that might be something desireable. So,
I'm introducing the possibility to enable it but have it disabled by
default.

Tested on X11 and Wayland clients.

There are more than on away to achieve this idea so feedback is welcome.

I expect that the spice client would implement some sort to commandline
option like --allow-clipobard-managers to enable/disable the
SpiceGtkSession property on the fly. For now, there is an option in
spicy testing tool.

James, would be great if you could verify if this series keep your
environment bug free.

Cheers,
