Failing to copy to clipboard with version 0.5.2 on X11

Since the (flatpak) update on 12.12. with version 0.5.2 (c53f23b6)
After a rollback to 219a798e it works.

Debug log output?*
07:38:51 - WARNING - normcap.clipboard.handlers.xclip:36 - Your Linux runs with Wayland. Please install the system package 'xclip' to ensure that text can be copied to the clipboard correctly
Thanks for reporting this, @rwese ! You actually scored a Hattrick here, pointing to three issues :see_no_evil: :
xclipis used to copy to clipboard on Xorg, instead of the default Qt-method (like in NormCap 0.4.x)- The warning text doesn't fit, as your Linux does not run Wayland
xclipshould be bundled in the NormCap flatpak (no need to install it on the system), but it seems like it isn't detected correctly.
1.) and 2.) should be fixed in v0.5.3, which I'm preparing right now. 3.) might take longer, but that shouldn't bother you, as on Xorg xclip should not be used anyway.
