Thanks for letting me know. (I assume this is just one of several functions performed by klipper.) I actually don't think I'll be able to use klipper, though, I'd like to avoid any KDE dependences, and I'd want it to be entirely controlled from keyboard commands. I think it would be fairly easy, though, to write a script that uses xclip to do this job. -- Jeremy Maitin-Shepard
