i felt we had established that "just do not close the program" is not an acceptable solution!
gimp enthusiasts hate klipper because it leeches everything it can get. if they were for a pragmatic solution they would not offer that much date but just an internal pointer. or klipper simply special-cases this scenario and everything would just work. condemning klipper because there seems to be the golden bullet solution of integrating something into x does not take us anywhere. one should elaborate a plan of how to get the x-solution because it is the right thing! but it will take its time to specify, implement and distribute. for the transition time we should use a program like klipper because there are just a few showstoppers to fix until it can be used as a decent quality workaround. so i definitely suggest the following two-step approach: 1. use klipper to get things working in near future. pragmatically fix showstoppers as with gimp and problems with binary data. this could be done within weeks. 2. enhance the x server to make things "just work". this will take months to plan and coordinate and with implementation and release this could be more than a year. so an transitional solution as proposed in step 1 makes sense. -- Copy-Paste doesn't work if the source is closed before the paste https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/11334 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a subscriber of a duplicate bug. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
