OK, thanks. Looks like parcellite has been replaced by clipit, which
gets better reviews - both are in the Ub S/W listing. Also doesn't seem
to impact KDE as does klipper, but since it is Gnome oriented, will it
**actually work** with KDE pgms - THAT is the current problem. Seems
like KDE stores clipboard info differently. Does running a pgm like
that set up a DIFFERENT place to store clipboard info so it can be
used by any pgm?

Did this always work between ANY Gnome/KDE/MATE/etc pgms you run?

Lots listed there, didn't see mention of klipper though. I'm not
running Plasma, but installing KDE apps does bring in lots of KDE stuff.

Thanks for the info.
