POSSIBLE WORKAROUND:

Ok, I was reading the README in the new source code. I got to the line
were it says: install dependencies:

$ sudo apt-get install cmake intltool   libgtk-3-dev libssh-dev libavahi-ui-gtk3-dev libvte-2.90-dev libxkbfile-dev 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
cmake is already the newest version.

Suggested packages:
  autoconf2.13 autoconf-archive gnu-standards autoconf-doc libtool
  libgtk-3-doc libssh-doc
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  autoconf automake autotools-dev intltool libatk-bridge2.0-dev
  libavahi-client-dev libavahi-common-dev libavahi-glib-dev libavahi-ui-gtk3-0
  libavahi-ui-gtk3-dev libdbus-1-dev libgtk-3-dev libssh-dev libssl-dev
  libssl-doc libvte-2.90-dev libvte-2.90-doc libwayland-dev libxkbcommon-dev
  libxkbfile-dev

Once I installed that, I tested the old version I am currently using,
Remmina 0.9.99.1 runs, (as it did) but copy paste functionality has
resumed!

The source for version 1 still failed to compile, that's a bummer, but
as long as i can copy and paste in a relatively new version, I'm ok with
this solution. Try it if you like. I'll look into compiling the new
version later.

At this point, the bug would seem to be a dependency issue.  perhaps
there are log files that will give more information about this.

Title:
  Critical bug - Copy and Paste not Working in 15.04

Status in Remmina - The GTK+ Remote Desktop Client:
  New
Status in remmina package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Remmina is probably one of the top 3 Linux applications "I need
  working right" to efficiently complete my work day.

  So, I consider it a critical bug that "copy and pasting" between
  "local and remote desktops" is not working in the 15.04 beta 2.

  This is one of those things, where if this is not fixed, I will have
  to return to Ubuntu 14.04, or figure out a way to install a version of
  Remmina that actually works correctly in 15.04.

  This bug has reared its ugly head before:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/remmina/+bug/937522

  However, the status of that bug seems to be practically closed, so
  that's the reason for this new posting. I want to do all I can to get
  this bug the attention it needs. Remmina is crucial for my work.

  I'm currently dealing with the fact that it crashes a few times a day,
  but this "copy and paste not working" is a real deal-breaker for me to
  stay on 15.04.
