Hi,
It appears that the code that starts up the Xserver integration for
clipboard handling is commented out, both in the 6.1.4 guest additions
and in the master codebase, the `vboxClipboardConnect` function is
wrapped in `#if 0 ... #endif` and the callsite is replaced with `int rc
= 0` (in place of `int rc = vboxClipboardConnect()`).
This means that starting `VBoxClient -clipboard` spawns a process that
sleeps for 60 seconds then shuts down and provides no clipboard
integration whatsoever.
This wasn't documented in the 6.1.4 changelog, and the way the code's
laid out suggests that this is a work in progress that's snuck into
trunk?
