Dear all,
Yesterday I decided to stop any future development of the GNOME
Clipboard Manager and I will not recommend anybody picking it up.
The Clipboard of X has historically been broken and people expected
GNOME Clipboard Manager to fix problems in the Clipboard of X.
It's not the responsibility of a GNOME application to try doing this and
to be honest is GCM (a.k.a. GNOME Clipboard Manager) not very good at
this at all.
To have a history of your Clipboard, one has to steal every Clipboard
ever set from the applications setting Clipboards.

I would be interested in your opinion of the clipboard situation if we
ignore clipboard history. I don't personally think that a clipboard
history is worth worrying about very much.
