Make "remove a clipboard item" a wish, and I'll put it on my todo. But maybe it is not such a good idea to have the application you copied from perform this? If you do this, perhaps make a custom drag/clipboard type so that Klipper, in the future, can do something sensible about such items? This is, BTW, a rather general problem. It's a rather known and sad cracker trick to sieve bash_history for passwords :-/ -- regards. Esben >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
