Fascinating article.  I am a KDE and thus Klipper user.  I have noticed
that sometimes pasting works perfectly fine whereas other times, I must
activate the latest entry in Klipper.  I wonder if that has to do with
the difference between PRIMARY/CLIPBOARD/SECONDARY? I've noticed
particular problems with OpenOffice.  Thanks - John
