No, it's more. Besides, that alone is enough to keep me using it. It's
such an improvement over the Windows/Mac single item clipboard.

Turn off the actions. It should be an entry in the RMB menu.

I feel that Klipper is even more vital now, with the 2 clipboard system in
KDE. If you choose to keep the selection and ctrl+c/ctrl+v clipboards
seperate, than Klipper is the only way that I know of to get the
information from one into the other without recopying. It's also the only
program to set all this stuff.

(someone correct me if I'm wrong... control panel that I haven't seen
yet?)

Also, if you turn Klipper off, won't you be stuck solely with the X
clipboard system?
