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.
More context: by "handles this" I meant the CLIPBOARD_MANAGER property. See: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/hw/xquartz/pbproxy/x-selection... It's supposed to return FALSE, and print a message to stderr in the case of the CLIPBOARD_MANAGER being already owned, or lost. It looks correct, and it's handling the selection of CLIPBOARD_MANAGER being lost correctly, as far as I can tell. The CLIPBOARD_MANAGER is intended to prevent 2 clipboard managers from causing havoc like this. George -- http://people.freedesktop.org/~gstaplin/
