Hi guys,

I posted the below to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> before I was 
a member of the list so I'm not sure whether it got through or not.
Hence, I thought I re-post now I am a member - I would appreciate any advice.

Thanks very much in anticipation,
Andy

Subject: Kleopatra Locking Clipboard

Hi there,

Application: Kleopatra (Certificate Manager and Unified Crypto GUI)
Version: 2.1.0
KDE Version: 4.1.4

I am a developer who is working on a piece of software that accesses the 
Clipboard.
I am experiencing a problem whereby when trying to access the Clipboard an 
ExternalException is thrown with the following error message: 'The requested 
clipboard operation did not succeed'. As a result, I did some diagnostic work 
to try to work out which application was locking the Clipboard. There seem to 
be a number of different applications that sometimes lock it (presumably whilst 
they have access to it).

However, the worst offender seems to be Kleopatra.exe. By 'worst' I mean it 
seems to persistently lock the Clipboard and thus blocks our application from 
accessing it. We are not actively using Kleopatra when this problem occurs; it 
is just running in the background. Also, interestingly this problem does not 
always seem to happen; sometimes Kleopatra doesn't seem to access/lock the 
Clipboard.

I was wondering if you might know why this is and if there is anything we can 
do to prevent Kleopatra.exe from persistently accessing the Clipboard?

Thanks,
Andy
