Unfortunately I don't have any patches handy right now - I simply hacked the files

You can select "Show Log" in the context menu of the particular machine and see if
there is anything interesting about VBoxSharedClipboard.
And, BTW, I think that for shared clipboard to work you have to install Guest
Additions in the guest OS (if supported).
