## Description

The SpiceGtkSession class is the spice-client-gtk counter part of SpiceSession. It contains functionality which should be handled per session rather then per SpiceDisplay (one session can have multiple displays), but which cannot live in SpiceSession as it depends on GTK. For example the clipboard functionality.

There should always be a 1:1 relation between SpiceGtkSession objects and SpiceSession objects. Therefor there is no spice_gtk_session_new, instead there is `spice_gtk_session_get()` which ensures this 1:1 relation.

Client and guest clipboards will be shared automatically if “auto-clipboard” is set to TRUE. Alternatively, you can send / receive clipboard data from client to guest with `spice_gtk_session_copy_to_guest()` / `spice_gtk_session_paste_from_guest()`.

## Functions

### spice_gtk_session_get ()

    SpiceGtkSession *
    spice_gtk_session_get (SpiceSession *session);

Gets the SpiceGtkSession associated with the passed in SpiceSession. A new SpiceGtkSession instance will be created the first time this function is called for a certain SpiceSession.

Note that this function returns a weak reference, which should not be used after the SpiceSession itself has been unref-ed by the caller.

#### Parameters

session | SpiceSession for which to get the SpiceGtkSession |

#### Returns

a weak reference to the SpiceGtkSession associated with the passed in SpiceSession
