clipboard-watcher

This repository contains the code of an experiment, in order to understand
how hard would it be (if possible) to have an application that can monitor
the access of other apps to the clipboard on Linux machines.

At the moment it only supports desktop environments that use X.

To learn more please read the
original blog post.
