I don't think e.g. ctrl-c, v, works globally between different applications. Which is actually mostly why klipper is pretty much necessary. This is only "necessary" on X11. So yes, I suppose for modularization efforts, klipper is sort of a dead weight and more of an extra app kind of thing just trying to overcome X's brokenness. On Windows, Mac, and toasters everywhere, it isn't necessary and doesn't make a whole lot of sense imo. That isn't to say that it isn't a useful app, naturally it is. Just one that I feel is not core to non-X11 platforms. -- Shaun Reich, KDE Software Developer (kde.org)
