% xclipboard
Error: another clipboard is already running

This shows that some clipboard manager is running.  AFAIK, some of these 
managers are integrated into the window manager or some other daemon, so it 
can be hard to tell by just looking at the processes.

Another way is to start emacs, select some text, then do M-w C-x C-t to exit 
Emacs.
The paste in a gnome-terminal (for example) with Shift-C-v.  If the same text 
you selected appears, you have some clipboard manager running.
