** Description changed: I use glipper all the time and I find it to be the clipboard application that has been missing from Linux desktops for the longest time. In the recent Hardy development I find that glipper dies when the desktop starts. I receive the following message in an error dialog window: The panel encountered a problem while loading OAFIID:Glipper.... The is asks if I want to remove glipper from the panel. I find this very frustrating. What is more frustrating is that once the desktop is up and running I can then install the glipper applet back on the panel and it works properly. I have only installed this as an applet and I have never tried setting up a custom launcher.
