clipit interface not working in 20.04

[David Edler]

When running clipit in focal fossa the interface will crash when opening the history list via shortcut (ctr + alt + h).

Starting it from cli shows this error message:

(clipit:7248): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 10:42:40.873: gdk_window_get_window_type: assertion 'GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

Clipit version is 1.4.4+git20190202-1 from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/focal/+package/clipit

Ubuntu version is Ubuntu Focal Fossa (20.04) as of 2nd of May 2020

Ubuntu 20.04 stable
For me, Clipit interface is working in Xorg but is not working in Wayland.

On Ubuntu 20.04 stable,
the Clipit interface does not work on Xorg either. The hotekeys do not work, the preferences do not open and the program does not shut down properly.

Confirmed too for me, error on console is:

```
(clipit:94386): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 15:25:10.858: gdk_window_get_window_type: assertion 'GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed
```

when I try to use the hotkey for displaying the history.

Any user looking for a solution: The program copyQ is a working alternative and also comes with focal fossa.
