Review comment:
       Yes, I hear you.  But there is not other documentation to check, and how is one supposed to "find one that does".  I don't know what causes a VNC server to have clipboard functionality that works or doesn't with guacamole, but it's certainly not something they document in a clear way!  Would a "known good" / "known missing some functionality" list be more palatable?  It would at least be less wordy.
