Florian, I think you're right but I'm going to consolidate them here as this one already has more attention (ie was confirmed) and has been forwarded upstream. Traceback from Bug #222846 and work around from Bug #205507 have been add to this bug's description.
** Description changed: I use glipper all the time and I find it to be the clipboard application that has been missing from Linux desktops for the longest time. In the recent Hardy development I find that glipper dies when the desktop starts. I receive the following message in an error dialog window: The panel encountered a problem while loading OAFIID:Glipper.... The is asks if I want to remove glipper from the panel. I find this very frustrating. What is more frustrating is that once the desktop is up and running I can then install the glipper applet back on the panel and it works properly. I have only installed this as an applet and I have never tried setting up a custom launcher. - When the program dies there is no crash report because I don't believe - we are firing up glipper at that time. Please help...
