We have had several releases where klipper triggered bugs which caused 
applications/desktop freezes and Lubos recently posted a proposal to update 
the clipboard protocol so that it would be able to catch clipboard changes. 
Appearantly it isn't able to do that reliably at the moment.

Ok, update kdebase/klipper, install, start klipper and try:
	dcop klipper klipper getClipboardHistoryMenu
and
	dcop klipper klipper getClipboardHistoryItem 2

Now we only need to tie it to the button :)

Cheers,
