Anders Carlsson: Clipboard manager

Clipboard manager

Philip, if you took the time to read the code you'd see that it's only using the GTK+ mainloop, the other code is plain Xlib. I have a new version that we're gonna upload on The Imedio developer site that just uses Xlib for everything, is that desktop neutral enough for you?

The best thing here would be to build the clipboard saving feature into something like gnome-settings-daemon.

Hong.i made a patch (for gnome-session-daemon) to do exactly that, though it was before the new GTK+/freedesktop API existed. Just in case you didn't know about it, and in case it's helpful:

Anders, I think it would help the acceptance a lot if the clipboard-manager spec was online somewhere. Perhaps you can fix the link at freedesktop.org? The GTK+ API is also pointing to that page but it doesn't contain the spec any longer.
