About Glipper

Glipper is a clipboard manager for GNOME. It maintains a history of text copied to the clipboard from which you can choose. Glipper uses plugins to give the user all the extra functionality. In previous versions, Glipper was a GNOME applet, but now it uses an app indicator to support Ubuntu Unity and Ubuntu's Gnome Classic. It allows users of Unix-like operating systems to access a history of X Selections, any item of which can be reselected for pasting. Glipper is often described as the GNOME counterpart to KDE's Klipper. Older versions of Glipper could also be run outside of GNOME, but the newest version 1.0 is GNOME only because of its heavy integration into different GNOME techniques. However, it can be run inside Xfce4's panel using the XfApplet wrapper, and through it, into any custom session that uses xfce4-panel, such as Openbox sessions.
