Bug Description
There is a lot of information stored in various clipboard managers, and it would be great to keep that between sessions, days and whatnot. For the power user crowd, using the clipboard more or less reflects your whole workflow, so it would be nice to have GZG track that too.
I'm personally using Parcelite, to have a longer history than default. There is also Glipper.
My point being, we could make a feature to log clipboard history.

The biggest problem with this is that it requires active polling of the X server. There's no way to receive an async event when the clipboard has changed. Polling the clipboard every 0.5s or so can be a very bad idea for battery lifetime.
All of the above also applies to all apps like Glipper, Klipper, Parcelite, and what have we.
