Question about openbox panels
Right now I'm using openbox with XFCE applications (I was running just XFCE, but I didn't need all of the extra things, like xfdesktop, etc, and this dropped my memory usage almost 200MBs!), but I'm still running xfce4-panel because of 1 thing. Clipboard Manager. I was using fbpanel until recently, but I've grown too attached to the clipboard manager, that I can't really do without it. Is there either a separate program, or another bar that using a clipboard manager?

Re: Question about openbox panels
Give Glipper a shot. It lives in the system tray, so it works with any of the various panels. It depends on libgnome, which pulls in a few other bits of Gnome, but nothing too extreme.

Re: Question about openbox panels
Awesome, thanks, I'll give it a try. I think I already have libgnome from the xfce stuff anyway

Well that's pretty bizarre, because I'm sat here in XFCE now, with firefox open and only 80 MB of my memory is being used in total. Let's go one better... no desktop environment, 20-30 MB, XFCE with no firefox, 60 - 70 MB and now 80 with firefox. I can't see how you've saved almost 200MBs by not using XFCE, when XFCE doesn't take even half of that amount. I don't even think KDE and Gnome would take up that much of your memory, but who knows?
Anyway, just wanted to point that out, so you don't mislead others into thinking XFCE's some bloated gnome/kde type DE.

There is no single XFCE program that depends on Gnome stuff. After all, what would be the point of building one DE if it still needs libs of another DE?
