Open clipman. It doesn't open, however it comes up in the task manager. I have tried opening it via the terminal with `xfce4-clipman` and `xfce4-popup-clipman`. I have tried adding it to the panel, launcher and favourites and opening from these places. I have tried opening it via a keyboard shortcut. When I run it via the terminal this is the output, apart from the PID and timestamps:
```
[jray@jr-dl ~]$ xfce4-clipman

The program goes away in the task manager after hitting CTRL+C, and appears after running the command.

My system was updated with `yay` just yesterday.

I also updated xfce4-goodies but all packages are already up-to-date.

Xfce-notes also doesn’t work.

I disabled both in autostart.

Restarting didn’t help.

I copy stuff to make sure there should be something in my clipboard.

I'm also having a failure to launch scenario
Since (finally) migrating to xubunut bionic, xfce4-clipman-plugin throws an error that it has been requested to start more than once in 60 seconds, however no icon is visible and interaction with the panel (whisker menu) is unavailable until removing xfce4-clipman-plugin from the panel or sucessfully executing it.

[ALT]+[F2]ing up xfce4-terminal and attempting to execute 'xfce4-clipman' returns:
** Message: [time]: Primary instance org.xfce.clipman already running
killall xfce4-clipman and clicking the (still waiting) execute button on the dialogue sucessfully launches clipman at that point

The first workaround I discovered was a bit ugly, but...

Purging and reinstalling xfce4-clipman* functions without issue, but is immediately broken again on reboot (perhaps logout, idk)

I see the OP is on manjaro, so perhaps this isn't just a xubuntu issue as I've read elsewhere.

At one point I was coming across this error, this is just cutnpasted (with clipman) from the webs and generified for illustrative purposes

Figured out that xfce4-clipman-plugin (in the panel)

which calls:
"/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/wrapper-2.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins/libclipman.so"

was being blocked by xfce4-clipman (Settings Manager > Session and Startup > Application Autostart > Clipman)

which has already called:
"/usr/bin/xfce4-clipman"

simply unchecking "Clipman" in the autostart section of the xfce4-session-settings Application Autostart section has solved this issue for me, I haven't investigated any further into where the defaults came from, but an easy fix

(if you can find it, i've used xfce for at least 10 years as my primary graphical environment and don't recall ever having this issue before)

Xubuntu 18.04.1 Bionic Beaver x86_64 installed via mini.iso > xubuntu-minimal

then installed xfce4-goodies (and etc.) through the package manager
