Bob,
Thank you.
I assume the clipboard application that installs by default on stretch can be removed and replaced with the (far superior, IMHO) klipper app?
Or can (or should?) the two clipboard applications coexist?

klipper was a feature-rich clipboard manager but I can't find it in Stretch. This is all I see: $ apt-cache search klipper cairo-dock-clipper-plug-in - Clipper plug-in for Cairo-dock cairo-dock-clipper-plug-in claims to be a clone of klipper but the features seem to be hidden. Anyone know if 'klipper' is deprecated or simply not in Debian? Not much found on web searches even targeting mail.kde.org mailing lists.Its in plasma-workspace now. Latest update:
[2019-02-24] plasma-workspace 4:5.14.5.1-1 MIGRATED to testing
It should have been installed with kde/plasma. "apt-file search klipper" finds it.
I would be careful trying to remove klipper. The other files in
plasma-workspace are very important.
apt-file list plasma-workspace:
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/gmenudbusmenuproxy
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/kcheckrunning
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/kcminit
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/kcminit_startup
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/kdostartupconfig5
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/klipper
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/krunner
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/ksmserver
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/ksplashqml
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/kstartupconfig5
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/kuiserver5
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/plasma_waitforname
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/plasmashell
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/plasmawindowed
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/startkde
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/systemmonitor
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/xembedsniproxy
These are just the ones in /usr/bin. If you try to remove
plasma-workspace then kde would be gone.
The new klipper seems to have plenty of options. I use Alt-C --
Open klipper at mouse position a lot (not sure if that is the
default). Makes it very easy to see and change what will be
pasted. I run testing here and didn't notice the change to the
new klipper. I see the older klipper package was removed back in
2015 as part of kde-workspace.
