Intermittent X clipboard failure

[Danilo Turina]

I've got similar problems with the clipboard but with another clipboard 
history tool (CLCL).
It seems that, at some point, X puts something in the clipboard with a 
format not correctly managed by CLCL and until I put something else in 
the clipboard (and that's not always easy to achieve) the clipboard does 
not work correctly.

Ciao,
	Danilo
