There is a key distinction here that you must realise:
* The OLE clipboard on Windows is scoped local to a PROCESS not a WINDOW *
The reason everybody hates the X clipboard is because it's window scoped.
For instance, if I type something into an Evolution mail window, copy it,
create a new message window then try and paste it in, it'll work only as
long as the original window exists. This has bit me several times.
If the clipboard persisted as long as Evolution did, really this would not
be a huge problem.
