Useful reference if this starts to develop into a "native" Lx-app. "C(lx)ipper", anyone? ;)

As mentioned on the mailing list, my own sense is that a system-wide clipboard (as opposed one with scope at app level) is sufficiently basic (e.g. ALL users of Macs and Windows have this) that it sneaks into the "essential" category for me. Your new Lubuntu user otherwise thinks their system is broken when "paste" does nothing, although they *know* they "copied" something.
