The following sample states:

xclip does not have this issue, and I can't figure out why.

How do I make my text write to the clipboard persistent?
Does your program have that problem? Are you running Gnome? My
understanding is that Gnome automatically grabs any clipboard contents
so that they do persist after the program exits. So effectively, you
always have a clipboard manager running as mentioned in the doc.
