What am I missing? Client request for grab will make agent to look into clipboard data in the guest which would lead to VD_AGENT_CLIPBOARD_REQUEST being sent from agent to client. I tried to avoid the grab first; I can also delay the clipboard data request to a later time (like when the keyboard is out of focus, as I suggested in the patch and explained below) > > This is default behavior over wayland. > > I can confirm that on Wayland, this patch breaks copy&paste > from client to guest. > According to the Wayland docs, the windows should receive the > owner-change event before the focus-in event ( > https://wayland.freedesktop.org/docs/html/ch04.html#sect-Protocol-data-sharing > have a look at Data devices.Selection: "This event is also generated > on a client immediately before it receives keyboard focus."). > But as it turns out, gtk+ delays the event so that the focus-in event > comes first ( https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/blob/gtk-3-24/gdk/wayland/gdkdevice-wayland.c > check out the keyboard_handle_enter() ). > So this patch will unfortunately need some changes in order to > work on Wayland.

I can reproduce the client requesting guest's clipboard data on X11/KDE multiple times while the user is just copy-paste between applications in the guest. The idea of this patch was to avoid those requests till the keyboard focus is lost, which means that user is trying to paste guest's clipboard data into another application in the client's OS.
