Title:
  Lubuntu: spice-vdagent process isn't properly registered for autostart

Status in spice-vdagent package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  After installation of package spice-vdagent inside vm with (fresh
  install of) Lubuntu 14.04, there is only spice-vdagentd running (yes,
  even after login/logout or restart):

  user@machine:~$ ps aux | grep spice-vdagent
  root       961  0.0  0.0   4432   884 ?        Ss   11:00   0:00 /usr/sbin/spice-vdagentd

  But for e.g. shared clipboard to work, spice-vdagent process (runs
  under user account) must run too.

  After its manual launch (LXTerminal -> spice-vdagent - it
  automatically went into background):

  user@machine:~$ ps aux | grep spice-vdagent
  root       961  0.0  0.0   4432   884 ?        Ss   11:00   0:00 /usr/sbin/spice-vdagentd
  user      1798  0.0  0.0   5804   956 ?        Ss   11:14   0:00 /usr/bin/spice-vdagent

  ...and shared clipboard is working.

  In "Start" menu, Preferences -> Default applications for LXSession,
  Autostart tab, is entry Spice Vdagent presented and ticked.

  Workaround is to untick it, restart (well, logout may be sufficient,
  but did restart, only to be sure), then tick it back again.

  After then, spice-vdagent process is autostarted reliably. So maybe
  some deficiency in package installation script?

  Interesting is, that this problem wasn't presented back in final beta time, it went wrong after some update around release time.
  (from this reason, did fresh install to avoid influence of some relict from pre-release time).

  For completeness sake, there definitely isn't problem in virtual
  machines host (Ubuntu 14.04), all other VMs (are just fine in this
  regard).

  (at least) affected spice-vdagent package version: 0.14.0-1ubuntu1
