         Thanks.  I'm running Ubuntu 6.06.1 with gnome on an old HP    
   Pavillion with Win 98, Breezy (5.1), and 686  and 386 kernels in my    
   Grub, all of it on a measley 30GB hard drive with several partitions.    
   Is gnome also known as X?  So what is xclipboard doing?  Is that just a    
   normal clipboard?  Would Dapper NOT have a clipboard if it weren't for    
   my having installed xclipboard?  I knew about KDE Klipper but I'm    
   running gnome.
