Bug Description

Just as the title says.

Clipboard only works with ubuntu 18.04 terminal. I can copy from terminal and paste into my Windows real vnc client.

However, copying from any other application won't be able to reach vnc client.

Even if I start cat, type something, then try to copy, VNC client won't see it.

I won't complain if the clipboard doesn't work at all. However based on the fact that it only works on terminal, it indicates vino is doing some filtering and it won't tell. Somebody is messing with the users.

An explanation is expected. Thanks!

In my case (vino on Ubuntu 18.04 and RealVNC viewer on Windows 7) I can only copy something from Windows to Ubuntu, but not back. Meanwhile vino 3.8.1-0ubuntu9.2 (this version info has been copied from another PC with Linux Mint with RealVNC Viewer) seems to be working.
