Linux clipboard: copy text through the core Wayland protocol

Browse Source 
Where arboard can't open (GNOME has no data-control protocol, and the Flatpak on a
Wayland session has no X11), Copy and Paste use the compositor's core data-device
protocol on the window's own connection through smithay-clipboard, already in the
build through egui-winit: text only, a copy's text or its SVG markup. A bitmap-only
copy reports that this clipboard carries text only and leaves it as it was.

- **Unconfirmed (2026-10-14):** Tool cursors are painted into the window on Wayland (#1652; not run on Linux, #1645 stays open until confirmed). On Windows the custom title bar's window stays truly borderless, so the pointer lines up with what is drawn on systems where the hidden caption offset it (#1791, #1758; awaiting the reporter's confirmation).
- **Done:** RPM required dependencies use 64-bit library capabilities and declare glibc 2.35, libm and libgcc_s (#1275); generated metadata and isolated synthetic-provider checks cover x86_64/aarch64. Real-distribution install/start-up QA is still missing.
- **Done (2026-10-29):** the Linux Flatpak on GNOME no longer reconnects to the compositor and logs a warning every 250 ms when arboard has neither data-control nor X11 (267k warnings in 18 h filled the 16 MB log in 3 h): a clipboard that can't be opened is retried with a wait growing to a minute and logged once. Copy and Paste with other apps still don't work there.

2026-10-10, #620, #818), slow pointer on a Linux AppImage (#575), macOS paste from other apps (#954), a
web-free crash/hang reporter, a field record.
