VBoxClient --clipboard seems to be broken with a recent update

You can start it without error but it just goes away.  The last thing in
the strace is a clone.

Anybody else seen this problem or know of a fix?

VBoxClient has behaved like this before, if memory serves. Either I've
just forgotten what the problem was, or something new has popped up.



Oh, I have a clue ... I noticed that the user wasn't included in
/etc/group.  But he was before ...

I updated this system  by binary update, and I guess the default is
|--include-config.|

restarting X, didn't solve the problem, so there's likely some other old
configuration that got wiped out.
