[Pkg-lxde-maintainers] Bug#960111: lxde: recommends deprecated clipit

[Andriy Grytsenko]

I'm agree, ClipIt needs some alternative. Although from what I saw about
Diodon it integrates into GNOME desktop and as such it will bring start
of bunch of GNOME services (dconf, zeitgeist) which are not started by
the ClipIt of course. Not very good for a desktop environment which is
intended to be lightweight, thus I would not name Diodon as appropriate
tool for LXDE albeit viable one.

Another issue with Diodon is that it is too much minimalistic, it have
neither correct right-click support (it is understandable for GNOME
desktop which is now oriented on touchscreen so no right-click would be
ever supported), nor history management, nor permanent history items, nor
any history list configuration. So far Diodon vs ClipIt is a bycicle vs
Tesla. I'll try to find if some viable alternative could be added beside
clipit. Thank you for your notice.

What is strange about ClipIt is why it was considered as deprecated while
it is still developed (https://github.com/CristianHenzel/ClipIt) by the
upstream, current version is 1.4.5. May be said "deprecated" state was
inspired by some people behind Diodon to kill concurrency? May be it's
better to take over clipit maintenance and return it back into Debian?
I'll try to contact its maintainer for more information.
