Hm ok. As currently implemented, there are only
3 extra objects, ‘Selected Text’, ‘Clipboard Text’
and ‘Clipboard File’  in the clipboard history
subcatalog. So at the moment we don’t save any
history for other clipboards than text.

This is what exists in current master in fact. How
does it work?

Also btw, I would like to merge in the user actions
plugin as it will probably be useful to a lot of
people. But I wonder if we can’t make the
configuration storage simpler. For one thing, it
should be able to store “simple composed objects”
like the current source configuration scheme does
(Used by Triggers and Favorites).. that means.. you
can save arbitrary nested simple types (dict, list,
unicode).
