Launchers and clipboard issue

Hello,

I'm experiencing an issue using Sculpt OS 20.08.

Adding a config section to app launchers prevents certain apps from working: qt5-textedit, falkon, system shell. The component tree shows them as a new component, but no window is opened. The manual says that a <config> node within a launcher overrides the one provided by the package. It seems like overriding <config> here disables some important settings and prevents the apps from running properly. How to extend the default config or replace just a few parts instead of completely overriding it?

For qt5-textedit with my custom config section, I get log messages like:
"Warning: raise: raise not implemented"
"child "text_editor" exited with exit value 1"

If I try to do the same by using the "+" menu and adding <config> to a running component (e.g. qt5-textedit) in /config/managed/deploy and restarting the component, it doesn't prevent the app from running. However, adding <config> <clipboard="yes"/> </config> doesn't allow pasting in qt5-textedit and falkon. Neither does <config> <paste="yes"/> </config> in system shell. Pasting into qt5-textedit, falkon and system shell doesn't work with my config and the log shows this:
"Error: Invalid clipboard XML syntax"

On the other hand, copying works normally, and I can copy text from qt5-textedit, falkon and system shell into an Inspect window.
Both copy and paste work inside an Inspect window.

What would be the proper configuration for the launchers?

Here are the relevant launchers:
<launcher pkg="genodelabs/pkg/qt5_textedit/2020-09-18">
  <config> <clipboard="yes"/> </config>
  <route>
    <service name="File_system"> <child name="ram_fs"/> </service>
    <service name="Gui"> <child name="themed_wm"/> </service>
    <service name="Report" label="shape"> <child name="themed_wm"/> </service>
    <service name="Report" label="clipboard"> <child name="themed_wm"/> </service>
    <service name="ROM" label_last="clipboard"> <parent/> </service>
  </route>
</launcher>

<launcher pkg="cproc/pkg/falkon/2020-10-30">
  <route>
    <service name="File_system" label="config"> <child name="config"/> </service>
    <service name="File_system" label="downloads"> <child name="ahci-1.fs"/> </service>
    <service name="Gui"> <child name="themed_wm"/> </service>

    <service name="Report" label="falkon -> shape"> <child name="themed_wm"/> </service>
    <service name="Report" label="clipboard"> <child name="themed_wm"/> </service>
    <service name="ROM" label_last="clipboard"> <parent/> </service>
    <service name="Rtc"> <parent/> </service>
  </route>
  <config> <clipboard="yes"/> </config>
</launcher>

<launcher pkg="genodelabs/pkg/system_shell/2020-09-18">
  <route>
    <service name="Gui"> <child name="themed_wm"/> </service>
    <service name="File_system" label="config"> <child name="config"/> </service>
    <service name="File_system" label="report"> <parent label="report"/> </service>
    <service name="File_system" label="target"> <child name="ram_fs"/> </service>
    <service name="File_system" label="fonts"> <child name="fonts_fs"/> </service>
    <service name="ROM" label="vimrc"> <parent label="config -> vimrc"/> </service>
    <service name="ROM" label="clipboard"> <child name="themed_wm"/> </service>
    <service name="Report" label_last="clipboard"> <parent/> </service>
    <service name="RM"> <parent/> </service>
  </route>
  <config>
    <copy="yes"/>
    <paste="yes"/>
  </config>
</launcher>
