KDE 5 Klipper broken

See original GitHub issue

I will shortly attempt to see why this is occurring, but here is what happens if you try to use the latest release under KDE 5. (Please note this still works under KDE 4)

It seems for the dbus, you must start klipper like so in the terminal.

klipper

Then the dbus will function properly.

IMHO we should check if klipper is running instead of just checking that’s installed.
