7 Yes indeed. If the DE comes with a clipboard manager (most do), it
8 pays to play around with the manager's config until the clipboard stops

10 whether it requires an explicit 'copy' command (as opposed to picking
11 up mere highlighting) should be set to suit the user's habits, rather
12 than the user trying to conform to the clipboard manager's defaults.
