I'm agree, ClipIt needs some alternative. Although from what I saw about Diodon it integrates into GNOME desktop and as such it will bring start of bunch of GNOME services (dconf, zeitgeist) which are not started by the ClipIt of course. Not very good for a desktop environment which is intended to be lightweight, thus I would not name Diodon as appropriate tool for LXDE albeit viable one.
Another issue with Diodon is that it is too much minimalistic, it have neither correct right-click support (it is understandable for GNOME desktop which is now oriented on touchscreen so no right-click would be ever supported), nor history management, nor permanent history items, nor any history list configuration. So far Diodon vs ClipIt is a bycicle vs Tesla. I'll try to find if some viable alternative could be added beside clipit. Thank you for your notice. What is strange about ClipIt is why it was considered as deprecated while it is still developed (https://github.com/CristianHenzel/ClipIt) by the upstream, current version is 1.4.5. May be said "deprecated" state was inspired by some people behind Diodon to kill concurrency? May be it's better to take over clipit maintenance and return it back into Debian? I'll try to contact its maintainer for more information.
