            Bug ID: 99317
           Summary: xwayland can read clipboard without focus
           Product: Wayland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: XWayland
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: pixelfairy at gmail.com
        QA Contact: xorg-team at lists.x.org

running this in the current (jan 2017) fedora25 in gnome-shell (wayland mode).
also tried in weston.

with the xwayland module loaded, any app can see any clipboard by calling x11. 

to see this, run 'watch xsel -b' in a terminal, and copy to the clipboard from
any wayland app. 

can this be changed so the x clients can only see the clipboard after getting
focus? this is especially important for password keepers.
