           Summary: Add support for clipboard sharing (copy-paste) under
                    Wayland + KVM/QEMU + Spice
    Classification: I don't know

SUMMARY
Plasma currently does not support clipboard sharing under Wayland when used as
KVM/QEMU guest. It would be great if KDE Plasma adds support for the same.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a KVM virtual machine using virt-manager and install any KDE Plasma
based distro on a Linux host running under either X11 or Wayland.
2. Make sure Clipboard Sharing is enabled in virt-manager.
3. Login to Plasma guest under Wayland. 
4. Install spice-vdagent in the guest and enable the systemd service (`systemd
enable spice-vdagentd --now`)
5. Copy any text from the host and try to paste it in Plasma guest.

OBSERVED RESULT
Text is not pasted.

EXPECTED RESULT
Clipboard content from the host should be available under Plasma.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.26.3 (all versions)
(available in About System)
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.100.0
Qt Version: 5.15.7

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
GNOME guests already supports clipboard sharing on Wayland.
