[Bug 213494] [NEW] [Hardy] Glipper dies when desktop starting

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Pedro Fragoso (ember):

I use glipper all the time and I find it to be the clipboard application
that has been missing from Linux desktops for the longest time. In the
recent Hardy development I find that glipper dies when the desktop
starts. I receive the following message in an error dialog window:

The panel encountered a problem while loading OAFIID:Glipper....

The  is asks if I want to remove glipper  from the panel. I find this
very frustrating. What is more frustrating is that once the desktop is
up and running I can then install the glipper applet back on the panel
and it works properly. I have only installed this as an applet and I
have never tried setting up a custom launcher.

Possible work around from Bug #205507:

Glipper has moved from being an app to a applet (which is confusing
enough), however it crashed when I tried to add it to the panel, unless
I deleted the ~/.glipper directory first.
