Matt:

I'll build the underlying clipman utility and try it out manually
if you can point me to the proper source repository.  I see the
xfce4-clipman-plugin source but I'm unclear about the clipman utility
itself which I would like to run divorced from the panel plugin.

By the way, the diodon utilility works just fine on Xubuntu 22.04 except
that it doesn't remember which window launched it.  If you have two adjacent
terminals and the pop-up clip window overlaps both, then the selection is
pasted into which ever window the mouse happens to be over when the pop-up
window is dismissed.  :-(   This problem does not occur with xfce4-clipman
