Sorry, should have said "copy to clipboard" not "autotype".

Strace says there's no relevant open() calls and it's trying to connect to
nscd's unix socket, which doesn't exist:

 chive(rader): strace pwsafe
 [...]
 30723 socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0)   = 5
 30723 connect(5, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/nscd/socket"...}, 110) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Weird.  Googling "wxwidgets nscd" didn't give me a lead.  Does that ring
a bell?  If not let me know, and I'll add some debug printfs to get a
better clue.

chive(rader): grep WXHTML /usr/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-release-2.8/wx/setup.h
#define wxUSE_WXHTML_HELP 1
chive(rader): rpm -qf /usr/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-release-2.8/wx/setup.h
