Clipboard not working in some OSX environments #916

Description

Context

I'm building an app on atom-shell and a portion of atom. Copy/paste does not work for me, but it does for my other team members running identical code, identical versions of atom-shell and on OSX.

Example

c = require("clipboard")
c.writeText("text")
c.readText()
# undefined

This example sets the clipboard text and reads it back correctly if executed in atom on my machine, but shows the behaviour above in our atom-shell based app. It neither sets the clipboard, nor can it read it.

Environment

Atom-shell 0.19.4
OSX 10.9.5

Probably unrelated, but also installed systemwide:

Atom 0.152.0
NPM 2.1.6
Node 0.10.33
