IMO is was a bad idea to add GNOME, KDE and LXDE to OnlyShowIn:

      * LXDE was just added recently added to the fdo specs and
        therefore older releases of desktop-file-utils will fail to
        install or validate the entry. Besides that, LXDE already uses
        parcellite as it's semi-official clipboard manager, so there is
        no need to show it in LXDE at all.
      * Trying to launch xfce4-clipman in Gnome will only return an
        error that there already is a clipbpoard manager running.
      * Not sure about KDE though, but there already is a KDE program
        called klipper.

What's the use of OnlyShowIn anyway, if you add all known OnlyShowIn
environments? Just remove TrayIcon from categories instead, because it
only makes sense for the autostart file to make you are running clipman
in a desktop that provides a systray. But the autostart file already
contains "OnlyShowIn=Xfce", and so should IMHO be the menu entry.

Christoph
