In a usability point of view, I think the selection clipboard should not be accessible from the menu. It is more something for power users. I'm also wondering if the clipboard history is something that should be kept inside LyX. There are Windows Manager wide utilities like klipper for KDE or xclipboard that do the job in a more efficient way. Cheers, Charles -- http://www.kde-france.org
