Worse that that. Large data such as images are not always put in the
clipboard, the source application merely posts the equivalent of an
availability notice in the clipboard, and the pasting application
negotiates what the source application will eventually share (actual
data format, etc...).

I would also recommend Klipper, but the version in my Kubuntu 19.10
(5.16.5) makes Gimp crash when it copies image to the clipboard (if I
set Klipper to watch for images).
