-- may have been mentioned previously: unlike the other desktops, conky is not displayed for"rox+icewm"

-- bootmenu F1 help mentions 1600x1280.
I've tried F7 S1600 and *1600 and 1600 (label without S and without asterisk)
and each results in an error message"undefined video mode number: 347" (or 31F)
I also tried adding vga=839 to the bootline and wind p with same (non-fatal) error. It falls back to 800x600 and life goes on...

-- unsure which combination of factors triggers it, but during some sessions, the conky blinks/flickers with each (1sec) update.

-- noticeable"slow repainting" when dragging application windows on the desktop (default boot seetings, nouveau driver)

Can you run the 64-bit version on the same hardware?
. . .
we should probably stop testing the 32-bit version. We know there are a lot of bad bugs with the 3.15 kernel
. . .
Are you able/willing to add an ext3/4 partition for persistence? You can specify a separate persistence device . . . scan all usb devices for /antiX/rootfs and /antiX/homefs files.

Full already has the following clipboard programs:

I found them by doing find / -name"*clip*" so there may be others without 'clip' in the name.

Do any of these do what you want? If so can you tell me how it should be called in the startup file? I'm also interested in the resources used but I can probably measure that if you tell me how to start it.

Do you think we should add a button in the control centre for this?

If you look at the isolinux.cfg file on the iso, you will see that only the command line menu entry disables dbus. Therefore anything that runs within X-windows is free to assume that dbus is enabled.

Okay then we have another bug somewhere unless this is only specific to my machine. I start live, default options, let it boot, attempt to run wicd and it asks for the root password and says that it can not connect with dbus and find the interfaces.

might make it more easily found/removed (vs xdg/autostart) for anyone interested in doing so.

How much ram overhead does clipit process add?
Less than the amount consumed by root window wallpaper image buffer.
Less than the amount consumed by conky.
