Container fast startup and clipboard copy

Those who have used the "scarthgap" and "daedalus" containers will know, when you click on the desktop icon, there is some screen flickering and it takes a few seconds for the containerized desktop to appear. It now happens in the blink of an eye.

To make sure that I haven't cut the startup time down too much, tested on my old Compaq Presario; yep, works great.

Clipboard copy-in and copy-out now works, though there is still a potential logic issue, that I will think about tonight.

Need applications running on main desktop and in container. can make a selection, copy to clipboard, then flip either way, and paste it into the other app. A selection is not copied, only the clipboard.

The plan is to release Easy Scarthgap 6.4.5, and daedalus_6.4.5_amd64.sfs for testing in container. Appreciate if you guys can "kick the tyres" and let me know any issues.

Then, if all is well, will probably compile latest Chromium and 6.6.x Linux kernel, and release Easy Scarthgap and Easy Daedalus versions 6.5 and announce on ibiblio. Though, may de-emphasize Easy Daedalus as a separate distribution, given how well it is turning out running in a container.
