clipboard can paste but not copy about clipboard HOT 3 CLOSED

Clipboard is picking up on Xwayland's X11 clipboard contents and overwriting its own contents with that of X11. The reason it overwrote README.md is because Clipboard doesn't know yet that the X11 clipboard contents should be the same as its own and not do any overwriting, and that happened because Clipboard doesn't have X11 write support yet so it never sent README.md to X11.

I disabled the WIP X11 reading in the latest commit 8c7c921 so you can try installing Clipboard with install.sh again (after removing the Clipboard directory), and this issue is something that @Davipb might want to take a look at later. Alternatively, you could download the latest release https://github.com/Slackadays/Clipboard/releases/tag/0.2.0 for a "known good" Clipboard version. Also, thank you for trying out Clipboard! :)

Maybe we should change the installs scripts to point to the last release of Clipboard, or have a develop branch where code that isn't ready to ship yet lives? I feel like this kind of thing will happen again in the future as things change gradually in the codebase.

As for this issue in specific, I guess it's expected until we have full copy and paste support for X11. We could add a feature flag to disable X11 integration until it's fully ready.

I'll change the install scripts to clone the latest release and not the latest commit. It looks like many other projects like Mold and Gitea have the development done on main and only rely on releases to prevent problems like this.
