It did not; mouse still confined too
Running it from kconsole unconfined my mouse, but
the clipboard was still not working.
I am not seeing a way to run a program in KDE
outside a shell, like I can in Xfce.
The words "it did not" tells me nothing.
Ater adding that line to my .bashrc and loging into KDE Xorg (MUST be Xorg and NOT
Wayland) as spice-vdagent is an X
utility. (I think I failed to mention Xorg v.s. Wayland as I've erased Wayland from
my mind. Sorry if that is the case)
