This commit moves the clipboard from WindowServer into a new Clipboard service program. Clipboard runs as the unprivileged "clipboard" user and with a much tighter pledge than WindowServer. To keep things working as before, all GUI::Application users now make a connection to Clipboard after making the connection to WindowServer. It could be interesting to connect to Clipboard on demand, but right now that would necessitate expanding every GUI app's pledge to include "unix" and also unveiling the clipboard portal, which I prefer not to. |

SerenityOS
Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86 computers.
About
SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.
Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.
I (Andreas) regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.
Sometimes I write about the system on my github.io blog.
I'm also on Patreon and GitHub Sponsors if you would like to show some support that way.
