invoked klipper shows a message box asking whether that's really what the user intended as
it's a potentially dangerous action (especially on a huge clipboard).
But it also showed a "Don't ask again" checkbox which doesn't really
make sense. When clicking "No" and the checkbox being checked it's
becoming impossible to clear the clipboard which is probably not what
the user intended.
This change removes the "Don't ask again" checkbox.
