According to https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/makefiles/#porting-categories deskutils - Things that used to be on the desktop before computers were invented. Diary, calendar, contacts, notes, timer fit nicely in "deskutils". "clipboard" in computing is quite different in how it works and used compared to the retro one. Prior art like "xclip" and "clipman" are already under x11/ category.
