Description
On the command-line I can specify -c to open the clipboard by default. It would be nice if there was a UI option for that. Additionally, it would be nice if I could set the app to open nothing so I can decide myself. Currently, there's always the useless empty document 600x600 pixel (or whatever you have defined) which is never really helpful IMHO. It'd be great if there was a radio button option:
Start the application with:
(o) No document
(o) Empty document with default size
(o) Clipboard

Research direction
Start by locating the command-line -c handling and the code that creates the default blank document at application startup. Add a preference with the three requested startup choices—no document, default-size empty document, or clipboard—and verify that each choice determines what opens when the app starts.
