Thank you very much for the explanation.

So I have tried diodon, but it does not work. Do someone use a clipboard 
manager and can someone suggest me one...?

As a more general problem, is there a  page giving a list of recommended 
program tested to be well working with e....?

  I see the problem on another thread, a user wants to install e, but 
she needs too xorg. Sure it is normal. And she needs too to start dbus, 
it is dbus-x11 in debian... It is not  simple nor basic to know that all 
this is necessary...
