Bug ID: 410288
Summary: No clear way of removing Klipper from KDE session
Product: klipper
Version: 5.16.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: girard.nico...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Removing Klipper from one's KDE session is a legitimate need, e.g. for security
reasons as discussed here (1), or in order to use another clipboard manager
instead.
Currently, nowhere in KDE's system settings, Klipper's documentation, nor
Klipper menus, a clear way of doing so is provided.
As indicated in (2), removing Klipper can be achieved by unchecking "Clipboard"
in "System Tray settings > Additional Entries" ; but by doing this the user is
let unsure whether
- Klipper does not appear in the systray, *but* is still running in the
background ;
- Klipper won't be running after restarted the session ;
- Klipper is no longer running at all
This is clearly a usability issue, which has been bothering people since at
least 2003 (3).
