I don't believe that I have problems with SELinux on my desktop
computer or, at least, I do not receive messages telling me so. OTOH,
I know that Klipper worked perfectly in KDE3 when I was using it in
Knoppix, for instance. Then, I thought it was because KDE was at
version 4.0. But now?

Now I wonder if it doesn't have something to do with address space
layout randomization. Why does a clipboard utllity suddenly stops
functioning and nobody raises the matter? When I do, I get no answer,
when I repeat my question, some people say I always come back to the
same topics. But nobody dares say they have found out a clipboard
utility that works perfectly, even decently.

Brawlers will throw at you the first thing that comes to their mind.
They'll say "KDE is not Fedora's default desktop environment. Why
don't you use Glipper instead?" Of course, they know that the problem
with Glipper is that, if you have more than one screenful of entries
and you want to select the second one, the entries will slowly unfold
from the last one to the first ones. The silly thingy has been no use
for years. Developers never noticed?

Developers never noticed that ALL file mangers, all the graphics ones,
at least, have bugs? We're talking about very basic stuff, here.

Yep, this is a good summary. Attitude is the problem. Linux
development is like a hord of Gauls facing the structured army of the
Romans.
