Hi,

I'm a bit late for the discussion, but I didn't have any time, earlier. 

I have to say, klipper in 3.0.x is sadly a bit buggy and might have popped up 
the action-popup at kind-of random times. That's surely annoying, but fixed 
in CVS, I hope.

I think a Kandalf-tip for Ctrl-Alt-R would be a good idea.

I still think this automatic popup is a nice feature and if such a "Disable 
this Popup" would be available, those people annoyed by it, would find it 
easily.

With the actions disabled by default, hardly anyone is going to find them.

That's similar to the "Disable this" menu-entry, but confonts the user with a 
"Decide now" action, when he didn't even want to think about that. I'd prefer 
the former.

That's how it works at the moment.

Yeah, people are used to console based apps on Linux, why develop a desktop?
