Glipper 0.89 clipboardmanager
Glipper sits in the notification area and collects everything that is copied to the clipboard. Glipper maintains a history both of the "copy" clipboard, usually filled with Ctrl+C and of the "select" clipboard, filled when text is selected.
Glipper lets you choose an entry from the history to fill the current clipboards.
NOTE: Icewm requires icewmtray to be running to support Glipper.

by the way, it was RobbH who suggested Glipper ... see: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 1113#91113
also, i upx'ed Glipper ... if anyone adds Glipper to a squashfs .sfs file, glipper should be un-upx'ed (upx -d) first, or recompiled ... there's probably not much point in having the executable compressed twice
if anyone wants to modify the source of this version, and add functions, and maybe bugfixes, he/she is welcome to do it
adding a button or menu item to pop up a text window using the defaulttexteditor or a similar text widget might work well enough as a permanent place to keep (text) items to copy/paste
maybe there are other clipboard programs which don't require a lot of dependencies, that are actively being developed?

this version of Glipper is an older version ... newer versions of Glipper are integrated with Gnome, and require Gnome and Glade librariesI wonder if Glipper could be enhanced

Permanent Clips for Pasting
Thanks, Guest Too. Your solution is as obvious as it is elegant: I can put a pre-saved leafpad file on the desktop, add to it as I wish, and copy from that to paste anywhere. This doesn't need to be added to Glipper at all. The idea is to behave like the heroes of "Gilligan's Island," and make do with what we have.
Thanks for this, GuestToo!
I will try this, although I've moved on to OpenSUSE Linux for the most part. I do appreciate that it was Puppy that got me started as a Linux user, and I know I'll be using it in the future. I've got an old laptop that I'll be putting to work shortly, and I think Puppy will be the perfect tool for it.
While I was still using Puppy, I came up with a shell script and wxbasicscript combination that handled clipboard duties for me, and it worked well enough for my purposes, but it had too many quirks to be offered to the public. I'm sure Glipper will prove to be much more satisfactory, and a great addition to the Puppy toolbox. I trust now it's obvious to all why this is superior to xclipboard?
Incidentally, I found Supernotepad to be a great editor for displaying my clipboard history. It has its own history file, called "superpaste" which is a good place to stash clips you want to keep a long time, like boilerplate you'll be using repeatedly.
All the best to a great community!

Puppy 2.16exp2 has G2's Glipper.
I sent an email to the developers, telling them about our problem
being stuck at version 0.89, but it bounced back with a message
that it is probably spam. This was determined by 'spamcop', but I
don't see anything identifiable as spam in my message -- I sent it
from my email address 'void@dodo.com.au' -- maybe that was
suspicious!
Anyway I can't be bothered trying to resend.

Did anyone actually try a later version of glipper? Even though they have some Gnome libs in the dependency list, their website says:
They do seem to think we shouldn't expect a stable version soon though, so maybe 0.89 is better as it seems stable.It only depends on GTK+ 2 and not on GNOME libs (optional)
