Description
VBoxClient --clipboard no longer runs on my Debian VM. If I run it by hand:
$ VBoxClient -v --clipboard -f Shared Clipboard: Starting X11 event thread Shared Clipboard: Stopping X11 event thread ... Shared Clipboard: X11 event thread terminated successfully Error connecting to host service, rc=VERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED Service terminated abnormally with VERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED Running service failed: VERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED

While investigating #19235 switched GDM (but not my session) over to use Xorg rather than the default of wayland, and subsequently
VBoxClient --clipboardis working normally.My login session was always using Xorg, so it's possible that it just started working again by chance. On the other hand, I've restarted my VM many times since this bug started happening and this is the only time that I've had clipboard sharing working since December...
