Bug Description

there are a lot of "bugs" related to programs not following gtk+ clipboard protocol (such as firefox, gaim, etc. see Bug 21202). to solve this, it'd be nice to see ubuntu include glipper (http://glipper.sourceforge.net, already packaged in ubuntu) in ubuntu-desktop since i'm sure it would greatly help most users, most of whom have no idea that such a package exists for them to install themselves

Thanks for your report. Your idea might get more attention and have
the possibility of being implemented if you would submit a
specification for this.

You should first check whether it already exists at the Ubuntu specs
page (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+specs) in Launchpad. If
that is the case, feel free to contact the drafter of that spec about
your comments/suggestions. Otherwise you can start writing a spec
following the steps described in
        https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeatureSpecifications.
