Sorry to bother...
I don't know much about network saftey (I'm trying to learn...)...

Anyway,
I don't like the idea that I should make my clipboard contents public.
Why not implement the possibility of sending parts of your clipboard to another clipboard instead?
You could be able to mail clipboard data to another clipboard.
All encryption and saftey work would then rely on the mailing application.
(And the CORBA implementation. CORBA objects would of course mail their stringID.)

I really hope that I didn't make a fool of myself now... :-/
