Details

I'd like to request enabling the qemu-ui-gtk clipboard, it is very useful to users of Intel GVT-g as the GTK display is by far the highest performance display method available. Lahwaacz asked me to request this here, likely so he can remove the QEMU section on custom builds I wrote and the hint that using qemu-vdagent with the GTK display requires a custom build.

The functionality is still "experimental", I did not expect it to be integrated in the repository package, hence what I wrote on the wiki. For reference, the upstream discussion: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1455 From my testing, the feature works splendid, but what do I know.

Besides, I didn't expect guidance on creating custom QEMU builds (took me a while to figure out) to be a bad thing to be wiped from the wiki as it took me a while to figure out.
