The result of this is the display server doesn’t matter much to applications because we have pretty good toolkits that already hide all this information from us. And it doesn’t matter much to drivers as they’re providing much the same operations to anything that uses them (i.e. buffer management and passing shaders around).

ClipIt is a lightweight, fully featured GTK+ clipboard manager. It was forked from Parcellite (http://parcellite.sourceforge.net), adding additional features and bugfixes to the project. Please also see http://clipit.rspwn.com/

Clipboard managers can be useful when doing a lot of copy/pastes. I noticed Clipit as part of the standard Fedora 19 install in one of my virtual machines. They had no rpm package for Fedora 14 so I compiled the source and it works great. It’s a nice no nonsense useful tool.
