Yes, comment is wrong, should be:

    /* As we are holding clipboard data sent by selection-grab from guest, the
     * selection-request of clipboard data from guest must fail. We either
     * sent a bad selection-grab to the guest or the agent is buggy. */

Not true. Possible client-side bug, reproducible on X11, as I
discussed before. As mentioned in the comment, we are sending
wrong selection-grab to the guest.

> Not sure sending a reply is going to help much in that case...

It helps. Instead of blocking the application, it fails to paste
the clipboard and all is good.

We send a selection-release on owner-change. If we receive a
selection-request before agent receives the selection-release,
this is expected but we should notify the guest, afaics.

No. It should request the content from the grab that was sent. If
clipboard changed, previous grab gets invalidated and a
selection-release is sent and another selection-grab is sent with
the metadata of the new grab.

Proving recent data from old grab seems wrong.

Well, it should not happen anyway as on read-only we should not
send selection-grab. I'll fix and resend.

Thanks for the quick review.
