I’m afraid just that one patch won’t help and the upstream source
needs to be reverted to what was shipped as 1.4.2-1.2. I gave up on
making this code work, and I don’t understand why it doesn’t properly
(on my machine, for example, it very unreliably captures the clipboard
contents). I have switched to Diodon myself, which also supports
holding images.

Given this, and the fact the upstream has disappeared a year ago, I
hope you understand why I’m not very motivated to do any work to get
this fixed in stable.

Mika, please feel free to push a fix into buster if other than the
hotkeys clipit works for you.
