Comment 5 for bug 897709

You guys are absolutely correct, gpasted is the source of my problems. I installed all of the gnome shell extensions, and did enable the gpaste one once, but almost immediately disabled it again so I thought it wasn't doing anything (wrongly).

I tried what you said Guillermo, (reenabling the extension, telling it to not track clipboard changes, and then turning the extension back off), but that still left gpasted running and it still ran at login. Disabling it with gnome-session-properties has solved my issue. Also confirmed that the other systems I talked about above without the issue did not have gpasted running, and on my F16 install I could paste fine after killing gpasted.

It'd be nice if gnome-shell-extension-gpaste cleaned up after itself better...

I'll carry this over to the RH BZ, maybe they ran into the same thing.

Thanks for your help!
