I'm copying all of these without success:

# find /home/user/.config -name *clipman*
/home/user/.config/autostart/xfce4-clipman-plugin-autostart.desktop
/home/user/.config/xfce4/panel/xfce4-clipman-actions.xml

grep -Rlm1 clipman /home/user/.config
/home/user/.config/autostart/xfce4-clipman-plugin-autostart.desktop
/home/user/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml
