Description:
Remmina clipboard sync is broken on Wayland. There is no code solution to fix it currently from upstream, but a workaround figured out, according to upstream discussion [1]. Please consider introducing this workaround to this package. It's safe for both Wayland and X11 users. Just set temporary environment `GDK_BACKEND=x11` variable when launch Remmina. Additional info: [1] https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina/-/issues/2737 Steps to reproduce: Launch Remmina in Wayland session, then connect a to a remote server. The copied content from remote server cannot be paste to local expect Remmina's own windows. |

Thanks for advice, I will try to update this situation to Arch Wiki. It seems that remmina has more than one "unfixable" problem about clipboard on Wayland.
But since it's a fundamental function of Remmina(also default action), everyone who try to use it with Wayland will encounter this problem. I think it may make sense that we may add an extra sub-launch option or another launcher desktop file which marked as "Remmina(X11)" like some other software's do.
