  if the whole idea of this change is to support external clipboard clearing through tools like sweeper I'm strictly against it. I'm now extremely blunt: these tools are bullshit. You cannot clear a clipboard history on X11, the mere idea is ridiculous as any application can listen to clipboard changes. These tools give a wrong feeling of security and they don't understand the problem or they would not offer it at all. If there is a malicious program which reads your sensitive clipboard data, you have a problem and sweeper won't help you. If there is no such problem, then there is no real reason to clear the clipboard. And even if you want: klipper provides that in the UI.
