(Get the code!)
Ok. So, we (probably) know what the problem here is - watching the clipboard. If people still want to be useful, they can test the code in lp:~raof/do/clipboard-hacking - that will get you a mostly-broken "Selected text" item, but it shouldn't crash in THIS way (it'll probably crash in other ways, such as if you actually try to _use_ the "Selected text" item).
If you can reproduce this behaviour - Do suddenly starts consuming CPU and memory without an apparent trigger - with the clipboard-hacking code, please respond. If this clipboard thing is the actual problem, then we've got a good idea of how to fix it, and will do so soon.
