I guess, (part of) the problem is the malformed XML. It should be:

  <config clipboard="yes"> ... </config>

Since this pattern occurs multiple times in your email, I wonder what
have you taken as original reference for this snippet?

Please note that equipping any of the mentioned components with an
almost empty <config> is unlikely to work. The config usually sets up
the VFS namespace for the component and configures the libc. If those
parts are left out, the component is not able to work.

For reference, a valid configuration for qt5_textedit looks like [1].

https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/blob/master/repos/libports/recipes/raw/qt5_textedit/textedit.config

On Sculpt, you can find it at
/depot/genodelabs/raw/qt5_textedit/<version>/textedit.config once you
have installed the qt5_textedit package. That's useful for copying the
content to your launcher.

Cheers
Norman
