clipmenu: Won't run correctly when launched outside of a X terminal
I’m certain this is an issue with my environment, but recently clipmenud stopped working with my systems user service. Specifically, it runs, but while it is running none of the selection buffers contain anything and I cannot copy or paste anything. xsel -o outputs nothing and xclip actually gives an error.
Running clipmenud from .xinitrc has the same issues. Running clipmenud from a terminal in X works fine.
I’ve gone through /proc/$pid/environ when clipmenud is working, and I tried to put all of those variables in the systemd unit. Didn’t help.
I’m on archlinux- anyone have any idea what’s happening?

This is included in 1.2.0, which was just released.
Basically, clipmenu works fine for a few iterations of the main while loop, then something erases the selection buffer.
