GNOME Clipboard Daemon - your clipboard will actually work

Normally, when you copy something in an X application and you close it, the content of the clipboard is lost. This is probably one of the biggest reasons why people keep saying that copy & paste in Linux "doesn't work".

GNOME Clipboard Daemon is a program that keeps the content of your X clipboard in memory, so the clipboard won' get lost even after you close the application you copied from. It's a daemon - it has no GUI. You start it and it'll run in the background and Just Work(tm).Click here for more information, source & binaries.

Re: GNOME Clipboard Daemon - your clipboard will actually work

because it's nothing about the X CONSORTIUM !!!

many !!!! because it years ago , people and people have to explain to people and people than X is only a DISPLAY SERVER with some facilities

the policy and uses of this facilities is decided by APPLICATIONS !!! not X , never X , it's not the work of X

the main problems is all people did anything and nothing with their applications, never did the same things. the same way to use .

so, now, with time, when gnome or kde will collide on a COMMON way to solve the problems it will be the end of the "Why the X consortium doesn't save the world ?" question.

because it's NOT THEIR FAULT the world is broken.

grah.
