I'm not quite sure I understand you correctly here -- but I think you're
saying that if you start "emacs --daemon", then that daemonised Emacs
can't communicate with the X clipboard?

I'm not sure, but doesn't that sound quite natural?  If you don't have
an X window open, then you can't talk to the X server, so you can't
access the clipboard, either.

I don't know how Org is talking to the clipboard, though.  Anybody?
