Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1336

Sometimes when i run stuff in --x11=xorg sandbox i want to operate on the clipboard/mouse selection of the sandboxed app. AFAIK, this means i need to use its Xauthority file, say, with xclip(1) or xsel(1). What would be the proper way to get it/adjust firejail to publish it? If i understand the code right, now the file exists only in the private namespace of the sandboxed app.

You probably want to use xpra instead - it has options to share the clipboard as well as tons of other things.

xpra is quite slow even with mmap and disabled compression.

I suppose @netblue30 could add a flag to copy over the .Xauthority...?

I don't know if this fixes it, but you can probably use firejail --get=<pid> /path/to/.Xauthority?
