[ulrich@codeweavers.com: Re: Clipboard functionality across processes]

[Ulrich Czekalla]

I should add that I think taking advantage of a clipboard client such as

duplicate what these clipboard clients are already doing.

Frankly, I was planning to submit a patch to remove the last bit of code
that provided this functionality.
