A handful of desktop utilities for snipping multiple clips

You might imagine that a utility as simple as a multiple clipboard would have become standard on the GNU/Linux desktop. All it needs is the ability to copy and paste text and some popular graphics formats, plus some basic controls to set the number of stored items and to clear the memory. Yet, although at least six multiple clipboards are available, choosing which to use is a matter of trade-offs that depends partly on your desktop environment and partly on which features you want.

	    ground color is visible if you select a transparent image or if the image does not cover the entire desktop background.

	 o  Select  a  color  for  the	desktop  background. You can select a solid color, or create a gradient effect with two colors. A gradient
	    effect is a visual effect where one color blends gradually into another color.
