You're implementing this by leaving the GtkSelectionData empty upon
GtkClipboardGetFunc.
This seems weird to me. By grabbing the clipboard, spice-gtk proclaims
it can provide clipboard data, but if another app asks for this data,
spice-gtk provides none.
It naturally depends on the implementation of the given app, but I
think that in the case of a clipboard manager, user could see empty
entries in the clipboard history, which is imho unwanted. (haven't
tested)
If spice-gtk is not willing to give the data to other apps, it
shouldn't advertise it in the first place, I think.
So I would rather implement it by delaying the grab the same way you
do it in case 2) below.

I see that you're trying to prevent apps in guest from eavesdropping
on the client clipboard while the user is not interacting with the
remote machine.
But I think there's another point of view: if the given app grabbed
the clipboard, it can also be interpreted as that the app decided to
share its data with other apps. And in that case, I don't see why
spice-gtk should impede the sharing. Note, that e.g. obscured
passwords in browsers cannot be copied in the clipboard (this is an
example of the case when app doesn't want to share its data).

Apart from that, there isn't really any good way to clear the
clipboard afaik, unless you store something new in it. Doesn't seem
like something a lot of users would do. So the sensitive data would
get leaked anyway the moment you click into the remote machine's
window.

So I'm rather inclined to agree with the opinion that this should be
enforced by the desktop, not us.

Cheers,
Jakub
