* gnu/packages/xdisorg.scm (clipman): New variable.

I propogated =wl-clipboard= as the user needs access to ~wl-paste~ in order to
initialize the daemon.

I've gone ahead and pushed this to master as
c3dd743b9a7bc9bb72718957680dfe9a618cb138.

I added #:install-source? #f to the arguments to avoid including the
source code in the output as this seems unnecessary. I've also added a
bit to use an absolute filename for wl-copy since that means that the
propagated input can be avoided.

Thanks,

Chris

I don't know how much it matters but I specified "wl-paste", not "wl-copy", because the user is expected to run "wl-paste -t text --watch clipman store" (or similar) themselves, independent of the "clipman" executable.

Not propagating the input means they'd have to install "wl-clipboard" in addition to "clipman" to be able to get the clipboard daemon running which could feasibly mean running different "wl-clipboard" executables than the ones that the "clipman" executables are using.

Like I said, that could be fine and my uncertainty about whether it matters not relevant but just wanted to call it out, just in case.
