Which IMHO is crazy ... the new ass-kicking clipboard design is
apparently still fictional, and having a clipboard cache would make the
behaviour of the X clipboard a lot less confusing. It doesn't have to be
perfect and it could opt out of things that are too big, but in this case
I think something is better than nothing.
