[solved] clipboard note - clipit

A very useful note was found in this gentleman's post. I was receiving confounding GLIBC errors when loading clipit. They didn't make sense. Appears sometimes the configuration can become corrupted. Simply delete it.

$ cd .local/share/
$ rm -r clipit/

Clipit loaded normally again.

however...

On a friend's HP system with all that proprietary HP keyboard and so on, there is an error which is not relieved by removing clipit's history. This was so intransigent that I emailed the developer. It's in line 1018 of the C code.
