[Spice-devel] [spice-gtk v1 2/2] gtk-session: clipboard request: notify agent on failure

[Victor Toso]

From: Victor Toso <me at victortoso.com>

Similar to 172c521271a3d - if we don't, the agent might be waiting for
data till some timeout happens in the system, blocking copy-paste
feature and possibly freezing applications.

A way to reproduce is copy-paste big clipboard data between two spice
clients.

Also add some documentation to the checks, in order to quickly
understand what they are about.
