   I found several tools doing things with the clipboard. One letting you   
   access content from previous operations. But I did not see one listing   
   the contents of the clipboard.   
      
   Not being a Linux programmer, I'm not aware of the many clipboards you   
   or Lew mentions. I only know two types:   
      
     - An ancient method accessed solely with the mouse   
     - A newer method accessed via menu or shortcuts.   
      
   Different, but with some apps they mix.
