Image copied to clipboard does not persist after Satty closes

Wayland does not intend for clipboard content to survive their owning applications. wl-copy solves this by leaving an active process. With some Satty workflows, e.g. when using --early-exit, losing copied images after application exits may be impractical. In that case, we'd recommend to use --copy-command wl-copy. The default config leaves this empty and makes Satty use gtk clipboard which has the afforementioned issue.

The window no longer floats after upgrading Satty to 0.20.1

Before 0.20.1, Satty tried to use a hack by temporary resizing itself to 80% screen size to achieve floating state. Due to implementation of explicit resizing options with PR #302, automatically applying this hack did no longer fit. It's possible to use --floating-hack to achieve pre-0.20.1 behaviour. We'd recommend to use a window rule within the compositor instead, because it is, after all, a hack.
