This hasn't been the case for about 3-4 years now. quartz-wm supported this as a legacy feature, and it was removed about 1-2 years ago. The pasteboard proxying is provided by xpbproxy which can be run standalone or as a thread in the server (when it is enabled in preferences).

I'm not sure what you mean by -d, but --no-pasteboard and --only-proxy weren't listed in the summary because they were LEGACY. I should've removed the LEGACY section when that support was actually gutted.
