Apps Review: Desktop Data Manager

A really cool, rather must have, app that I found a review on, on one of the blogs here at wordpress.com known as Linux FUD. I am definitely going to install it here @work on my SUSE 10.1 Gnome system.

I found this great utility for Gnome that I just can’t keep as a secret! It is called the Desktop Data Manager and includes “a clipboard history for many different types of content” like text and images that sits in your notification area (system tray), and an application to take screenshots of a single window, a region of the screen, or the whole desktop. Being able to select the region of the screen is VERY important to me and it’s a huge time-saver.

The clipboard application is like Klipper, but for Gnome. Wickedly sweet!

Wow! This is the best Linux gem I’ve found in a while!

I was able to install the .rpm package supplied by developer on SUSE 10.1, but not able to run, getting some GLib-GObject *** and Gdk-CRITICAL ** errors. Someone knows how to resolve this?
