And for to make a launcher (desktop file), the command is:
env GTK2_RC_FILES=… eclipse

Replace … with your GTK2_RC_FILES setting.

Note the “env” otherwise environment variable setting break the Exec desktop file entry.

(Klipper sort-of-maintainer here)

It is most probably because Eclipse is one of the programs that empties the clipboard before claiming it. If that is case, the best solution would be for Eclipse to stop doing that… at best, it is unnecessary chatter via. the X protocol. It might also introduce a race condition, especially in these multicore days, as you probably see with Klipper here.

The bit about Klipper enabling cross-app cut&paste functionality is completely wrong; it has nothing to do with Klipper and is a basic X feature, with some additional features in the XFixes extensions.

Klipper does 3 things:
1. Provide a searchable history
2. Provide optional sync. between SELECTION and PRIMARY (that is, the mouse selection and the good old clipboard)
3. Optionally saves clipboard data if the owning application exists (that is the prevent empty feature)
4. Finally, klipper can perform various actions from the clipboard, e.g. start a browser if the a link is selected.

Hope that clears up some points. Sorry about the Monty P. reference.

Of course, it might be something completely different.
