Interesting. I only use Gnome so I'm not familiar with Klipper, but it
does sound like that could be a problem. It seems like Klipper is very
configurable; I wonder if that could be worked around somehow. Though
that begs the question of how to recognize a "password" if you are using
good ones...
I know both Gnome and KDE have various built-in password managers; I
wonder how they deal with this? I use PasswordSafe for historical and
(sort-of) cross-platform reasons.
Later,

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
