Thanks for reporting. It is intended that the clipboard history gets stored in Zeitgeist and uses the privacy feature of Zeitgeist on how to manage what gets recorded or not.

It is certainly a bug though that clipboard information is left behind in the sqlite database once `Clear` has been executed in Diodon.

As a workaround to avoid this it is actually possible to run Zeitgeist storage in memory by setting `ZEITGEIST_DATABASE_PATH` env to `:memory:`.

Use for instance following command to do this:

echo "ZEITGEIST_DATABASE_PATH=:memory:" >> ~/.pam_environment

I am looking into this bug as it is a delicate issue and will let you know when I have found out more.
