Does anyone have any way to permanently remove or disable the clipboard that sits in the systray? There are options to "hide" it, and delete the contents, and I have found some work-arounds here and there. But none seem to do the trick. The work-arounds that have been tried still somehow log everything so if the clipboard is "un-hid", ect., everything magically pops right back in there.

I find links in there that I have sent to my roomate. Commands that I have entered into the terminal. Every thing I c/p or type into the terminal. Things I have put into pastebin, etc.

It also feels like it is a security risk of sorts.

Can someone please provide or make a way to first permanently disable the clipboard, and then remove it from the systray? Not just simply "hide" it?

Thank you.

So, I went to the Bug 352171 link. Followed the below instructions.

System Tray settings, sorry. Ie, right-click the arrow on the icons next to the clock, choose "System Tray Settings" and there's a list of "Additional Entries". Uncheck "Clipboard" and the applet will be removed (it won't just be hidden in the popup but not even loaded anymore).
