Hello George,
I think it's a bit off-topic now, as the main subject of this thread was
an issue with shared clipboard on KDE-wayland between Debian KVM
host-guest, but to be polite I will follow your thoughts shortly below ;-)

Rafał, I agree that setting the guest VM to full screen is great at
times, but I most of my time, I run my VMs in Windows at a smaller
resolution than my main screeen.
I think you misunderstood my previous sentence. I'm not saying that I
always use "full screen" for each VM guest, but I use "FullHD"
resolution for each of them (as it has the best space-to-details ratio
in my opinion). So literally each VM guest (and yes, I also use many of
them concurrently) has 1920x1080 pixels (set in desktop settings), but
being in a separate window on host machine it can be much smaller then
that - but it is properly scaled down to the size of the window on host
machine.
Then even when I manually resize the guest window size - it is still
properly scaled to this new size (but respecting width-height ratio, so
sometimes there can be black spaces on left-right or top-bottom when my
windows size has different W/H ratio then 16x9).
And finally I can drag such guest window to my "FullHD" physical screen
on the right (not the main one) and go to "full screen" mode with that
guest - thus I have 1:1 scaling ratio there.
Everything works perfect and I don't see any need for "Resize to VM"
functionality, but maybe I still don't fully understand this topic.
I don't want to resize my host screen resolution (if that is what
"Resize to VM" tries to do) - I would rather set guest resolution to
desired "full screen" mode on my right screen and use scaled down on
windowed mode.

There are many reasons why I don't use GNOME.
One reason is that I read it was designed with the premise that users
only do one task at a time, hence use one program in full screen at a
time.
Ohh really? I didn't know about that. Would you drop some link with
source of such statement here please?
If that's true, I think it is catastrophic decision in my opinion...
Humans are multitasking creatures (some of them more, some of them
less... but still MULTI-tasking) and they easily switch between
contexts, so why OS's graphic environment would be limiting of this
nature? (that's a bad idea...)
Below you said you use your VM in Full Screen. I wonder why?
No, that's not my state - not "full screen", but "FullHD" - I hope I
clarified that already above :-)
In the next post you also asked about "file-drag-and-drop" - no, I don't
use it and don't need it.
Sharing data between host and guest I do by separate folder on host
which is then mounted on guest as drive - in my opinion that's more
reliable then drag-and-drop.
Regards,
Rafal
