There already is the xfce4-clipman-plugin which is both a standalone app
and a panel plugin.

It uses motif and is ugly as hell. We already have epdfview which uses
poppler and gtk, so it fits nicely into Xfce without any
GNOME-dependencies.

No Qt please!

pino has a service that is running in the background and indexes your
documents. I hate this! It means wasting resources (especially on
laptops) and will potentially cause problems with removable storage.

Seems to be dead, last release was 2008.

Not sure we need a log viewer. Didn't Fedora have one? IIRC it as part
of the system-config tools and GTK only. Does anybody recall it's name?

Best regards,
