Any suggestions on how to debug?

Yes, remove /var/run/qubes/qubes-clipboard.bin.xevent

The file contains X event timestamp of last copy/paste operation (to
avoid some race conditions). But this counter overflows after some time
(a month or so) and our code do not handle this case.

If this is working as intended (i.e., an intentional design decision), then we can classify this as a documentation task. Otherwise, if technically feasible, we can classify this as a feature request to remove or extend the limit (beyond ~1 month).
