Clipboard management applets

copy, applet, clipboard manager, parcelite, glipper, gnome, paste, cut, web development

Developing websites is a lot of copy and paste work too but sometimes you loose the code in the clipboard by copying another code line. There are two clipboard applets for the Gnome desktop to fix this problem Glipper and Parcellite.
First i trieb Glipper but it crashes on restart, now i'm using Parcellite which runs very smooth and is a ncie tiny tool.
Glipper is in the sources of Ubuntu, a Deb package of Parcellite can grabed at Getdeb.

I have used Glipper in the last few releases of Ubuntu myself, however it is faulty in the Hardy repository. I researched this before and apparently the main 'executable' (if you call it that in Linux) is missing from the package... it was ok in previous releases of Ubuntu though.

Anyway, I had come across Parcellite myself as well and I must agree it's very fast and light on memory usage.
