there is no error message. however, the clipboard fails to be populated, and xsel -p and xsel -b confirm this

to be more precise, store does store contents into the keyboard, but the clipboard is cleared once the program ends. have you considered turning store into a daemon that dies once the clipboard contents is changed?

You may want a clipboard manager, such as klipper/gpaste.

I could prepare a pull request to fork a minimal background process. Would you be up for that?

This is expected behavior in X11, I'm not sure it's good to change it. and you may need to implement #3 before you want to listen for clipboard change.
