The Linux Developer's README has been updated with this information.
Thanks for letting us know.  As an aside, the opposite is true on OS X
(Snow Leopard), which supports "--debug=yes" but not "--debug=no"

Could you please file a bug on this here (in the Linux category):

Autotype doesn't use clipboard.  It only sends events to the window
next in Z-order.  But please file a bug on your clipboard problems.

It works on Linux.  I can confirm on Ubuntu 9.10 and others have it
working on Debian.  What happens when you try to bring up help?  Which
window/dialog?

You should not have to do anything special to get it to work, but can
you please see if wxUSE_WXHTML_HELP is defined in your
"/usr/lib/wx/include/*" or wherever your distro keeps installs the
setup.h file(s) for wxWidgets.

In the debug build (which you couldn't build), you probably would get
a messagebox if you tried to bring up help for a dialog/window for
which we don't have any help content yet.  But in all other cases, at
least the main page should come up.

Thanks,
Saurav.
