Cli pipe to clipit gives 'Clipboard is null, recovering ...'

[jonpatterns]

Hi

I'm trying to send an entry to clipit via the commandline, however it does not enter anything into the clipboard and gives the following error:

> clipit "text"
Clipboard is null, recovering ...
>

> echo "text" | clipit
Clipboard is null, recovering ...

>

I'm using Manjaro Openbox. Perhaps I have a setting wrong somewhere?

clipit -d

It doesn't work in daemon mode either. Daemon repeat gives error message:

GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 340 was not found when attempting to remove it

GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 342 was not found when attempting to remove it

Hi, I'm experiencing the same bug on Archlinux: the daemon mode doesn't work, it returns the same error.

Steps to reproduce:

1. $ clipit &
2. $ date +%"F %T" | clipit (My aim is to be able to paste current date and time by ClipIt action)

I have the same error with Void Linux and it its only with "clipit -d", but if i run it in a terminal with 'clipit' only, all works fine.
