ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Did it stop working in Plasma 6? Or was it never working before? If the latter, it's likely Bug 455992.

Hi Nate.

I distinctly remember spice-vdagent working with KDE Plasma before. I should have noticed  https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=455992 and I am sorry i didn't. I've mostly used KDE Plasma for my host machines in the past and not in VM's so i can't exactly say when this change happened. So I installed Kubuntu 18.04 in a VM and I can confirm that spice-vdagent works here out of the box.
