Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages This has been reported in Debian BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=410123 I think 'clear clipboard' should clear the clipboard history file. (Currently, the file is only cleared if one empties the clipboard and then saves the empty clipboard on program exit.) Suppose that, after using klipper for some days, user does two things: -- clears the clipboard -- changes from "save clipboard contents" to "don't save" Then user's old, already-saved clipboard remains on file at ~/.kde/share/apps/klipper/history2.lst and will happily remain there for months. This is unlikely to be what the user wanted to achieve. It's so unexpected that it should probably be considered a 'normal' bug.
particularly not a good idea if people happen to copy passwords. perhaps defaults are the distro's responsibility, but if not, please change it to not save on exit by default.
