Summary
Users have come to expect copy-paste between host and guest to work. This is also called clipboard sharing and makes it easier to work with graphical guests.
Details
A per-session guest agent is needed to listen X11 PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD selections [0]. This agent will register to the GTK events related to those X11 selections and relay them to the host front-end using JSON. This is for the guest->host direction. The other direction will be supported as well.
