Fist sketch of cut+paste support for vnc. On the guest side we are going to reuse the spice vdagent, so things should work out-of-the-box with guests in the wild. So this patch set brings a qemu implemenation of the vdagent protocol.
Beside that there is the clipboard infrastructure of course. For now only text support is there. The design allows adding more data types, so we can add image support and maybe more later on. So far vdagent, vnc server and gtk ui are hooked up. Usage: qemu \ -chardev vdagent,id=vdagent,clipboard=on \ -device virtio-serial-pci \ -device virtserialport,chardev=vdagent,name=com.redhat.spice.0 Enjoy!
