Clipboard doesn't work when no Emacs frames are active

Hi, thanks for writing this excellent mode! I have one small possible issue. clipmon-mode works perfectly when I have an emacs frame open in any workspace. However, when I do not have an emacs frame open, it does not copy text from other X applications on copy and selection actions. Moreover, it is not possible to paste from the clipboard in this case. This occurs even if emacs is running in daemon mode (so clipmon mode is active).

Hi, thanks for the bug report - I'm normally on Windows so am a little unfamiliar with X workspaces, but you're right - they do seem to interfere with the operation of clipmon - I'll have to dig into it a bit and see if I can figure out what's going on.
