If you don't use CLCL does everything work ok?

I've got similar problems with the clipboard but with another clipboard
history tool (CLCL).
It seems that, at some point, X puts something in the clipboard with a
format not correctly managed by CLCL and until I put something else in
the clipboard (and that's not always easy to achieve) the clipboard does
not work correctly.
Ciao,
Danilo
