Yes indeed. If the DE comes with a clipboard manager (most do), it pays to play around with the manager's config until the clipboard stops annoying you. Whether or not it syncs with the X clipboard and/or whether it requires an explicit 'copy' command (as opposed to picking up mere highlighting) should be set to suit the user's habits, rather than the user trying to conform to the clipboard manager's defaults.
