When closing spacemacs with SPC q s or SPC q q. Often the emacs GUI will display the message "Saving Clipboard to X Clipboard Manager". Then it will not close.

Interestingly, this does not occur when using terminal emacs emacs -nw.

The clipboard on my os is Xfce Clipman. I'm thinking perhaps the emacs is assuming there is a different clipboard and performing an inappropriate operation.

I'm not sure how to debug this, because emacs is frozen when this is happening. Any suggestions as to how I can resolve this issue?

Had this same issue. As seen in the Emacs documentation, you can stop this by disabling interaction with the clipboard manager.

(setq x-select-enable-clipboard-manager nil)
