It could be possible that the same functionality that allows windows to reappear on reboot / relogin also saves the clipboard so you might not be clearing it by logging out. If this is something you regularly want to do, a one or two line apple script should be able to do this. This could then be assigned to to the keyboard using a VO commander, or if you have a key macro package, I am sure it has ways of controlling the clipboard, though mostly I have seen utilities go the other way, and keep a set of clipboard entries in cache to be recovered at will.

However, how does a person clear the Clipboard? A person should not have to shutdown and boot everytime just to clear the clipboard. Thank you.
