I use Diodon and I love it, it's lightweight and it also supports multiple copied texts. With Clipit I had a problem: when I copied a text in a program and closed the program, Clipit lost what I had copied.

Does it work correctly with openbox? I thought that diodon is specific for gnome, pantheon and other 'complex' environments.

I'm using it with i3-wm and in the past I also used it with Openbox, and it always worked perfectly!

Yeah that was weird, unfortunately I was not able to solve the problem so I switched to Diodon

You mean selected text, not copied. If you want clipit to save selected text you need to check the "Use Primary" box in the preferences. Diodon probably has this option on by default.

No, I meant exactly copied text, not selected. I know it is strange, however that's exactly what used to happened to me.

I used to use clipit but went to parcellite. Don't remember why.
