Description Christoph Wickert editbugs 2010-03-20 00:54:17 CET
I'm running xfce4-clipman-plugin-1.1.3 on Fedora 12. I can clear the clipboard, but the content is restored the next time I log in.

1. run xfce4-clipman-plugin
2. clear clipbard history
3. clipman is empty but the content is still on the disk:
$ ls -l ~/.cache/xfce4/clipman/
insgesamt 88

Hi Christoph,

I cannot reproduce with said version, 1.1.3 and later.

As soon as "clear history" is actionned, the content in the cache directory is deleted. I'll have a look for the temporary files that are kept, this might be rendered when the desktop session is closed and the plugin dies too soonish.

Cheers
Mike

Is not. I will have a look on that too.
