Hi Jeremy,
I am just started X11, nothing else (of course KDE is running, KWallet, Klipper, KGpg, KDE keyboard tool) but no extra program - it seems not to make a difference - the same effect - if I run Kmail or not - my powerbook just gets hot :-) sometimes the fan is turning on :-(
Stop Klipper or disable the xpbproxy/XQuartz Pasteboard Proxy.
That could be the problem if Klipper and xpbproxy are taking the CLIPBOARD selection from each other continuously. I think xpbproxy handles this, or did at one point. I seem to recall having written the code for that, so perhaps Klipper doesn't follow the spec, or there is a mistake in xpbproxy.
Yeah, if CLIPBOARD_MANAGER is stolen from xpbproxy, then it isn't greedy for the CLIPBOARD.
