Yes, in remote-viewer and virt-manager copy/paste works.

I try to implement spice viewer using spice-client-glib-2.0.

Video, sound, send files, copy selections from guest to host -- works.
One problem: paste from host clipboard to guest.

It is a code place: .../vm_viewer/qspice_widgets/qspice-main-channel.cpp#L306 .

How i implement it:

just read data from QClipboard, then set appropriate data type
and call spice_main_clipboard_selection_notify(...) with this data
by clipboardSelectionNotify() method.

I check when the guest clipboard was released, but not works too.

Can you be more specific about what you are doing?
Do you have an application based on spice-gtk or spice-glib? Have you
checked how spicy (for example) handles copy and paste? Or are you
trying to do something special which spicy/remote-viewer are not doing?

Also, I assume you checked that with the applications mentioned above,
copy and paste works? (ie the agent is running in the guest, and working
as expected, it's only a problem with your code?)
