So, this also "breaks" and at the same time fixes snapshot and hibernate
with VNC clipboard by preventing it. Currently, we do not have any
checks in the snapshot and hibernate API calls for the VNC clipboard and
they "work", but the clipboard will be broken after restore (and I mean
broken, not just the contents lost). So some users might consider adding
such checks (and this patch) a breaking change even if it's technically
correct to prevent snapshot and hibernate with VNC clipboard. And other
users might (rightly) complain about broken clipboard.
