Problem is, why fetch data that no other application is
requesting.
Situations like the one below happens due state changing fast +
idle callbacks for clear/request clipboard data...

That means that another application in Client OS might get remote
clipboard data while the user is interacting with remote VM.
That's pretty much a security concern as well. This does not
happen on Wayland and I would rather that we avoid it with X11
too, even if it breaks ClipboardManagers that don't request our
clipboard after we focus-out
