Jul 03 15:38:53 <jdub>  as in, getting it into the desktop release? it
needs to be proposed for 2.6 when there's a request from proposals
Jul 03 15:39:12 <Netsnipe>      no one proposed gcm? = )
Jul 03 15:39:19 <Netsnipe>      I thought some people just hated it
Jul 03 15:39:39 <Netsnipe>      it just seems weird that the clipboard
in GNOME is still neglected
Jul 03 15:39:50 <jdub>  no one proposed it for 2.4

Thats wierd, I once proposed it for 2.4, but that was some time ago. I
got some comments from people on the mailinglist that obviously never
used gcm before and did not saw the use of it, and then suddenly I was
to busy to focus myself on the gcm-project. (I was switching jobs). I
remember that I even create a garball-thingy for gcm of which you
explained me how to build it (or there must be two jdubs on
irc.gimp.org). However, doesn't matter. I agree if you say that gcm is
not ready for inclusion in GNOME Desktop... so it should not be included
at all.

Jul 03 15:40:05 <jdub>  bob2: 2.4 is feature and module frozen
Jul 03 15:40:30 <jdub>  Netsnipe: the extended clipboard, yes.
copy/paste works as expected.
Jul 03 15:40:31 <gus>   Netsnipe: the clipboard in gnome (mostly) works
fine afaict

Please note that the primary purpose of gcm is not to fix a clipboard
but to add features to the clipboard like saving the clipboard data
