To disable (at least, partially) the clipboard manager in my system: go to System Tray Settings (right click in the arrow near the bottom right corner of the Desktop, then click on `Configure System Tray'), Entries, System Services, Clipboard. Select `Disabled' and click on `Apply'. The copy-paste mechanism is still available, but probably the history and other advanced features are not. After this, the program still lists a long series of Requestor: 0x1e0005b Denying request of type 'TARGETS' but then it waits and doesn't end. If I try to paste the string provided by the program (which is the current time and date): Requestor: 0x2c00f16 Denying request of type 'text/plain;charset=utf-8' Requestor: 0x2c00f16 Sending data to window 0x2c00f16, property 'GDK_SELECTION' The string is pasted as expected. Referring to the code, I don't understand why the request of type 'text/plain;charset=utf-8' doesn't match utf8 = XInternAtom(dpy, "UTF8_STRING", False); but anyway the request is processed, then. Maybe 'text/plain;charset=utf-8' corresponds to a slightly different atom? > Or you can edit the code > to use the PRIMARY selection instead, which clipboard managers (usually) > do not mess with. I also tried this, but it makes the program end even sooner (with the clipboard manager enabled): Requestor: 0x1e0005b Denying request of type 'TARGETS' Requestor: 0x1e0005b Denying request of type 'TARGETS' Lost selection ownership (again, 0x1e0005b belongs to `Qt Clipboard Requestor Window — Plasma'). Thank you so much! Travis
