Hi David,

I could only get SRPMs back to FC15.

I looked inside the SRPM a clipit-startup.desktop for a
reason, but didn't not get anywhere.  Couldn't find
anything resembling "GNOME;XFCE;LXDE;Unity;MATE;" in
the "Desktop Entry" section, which was the only section.

In the mean time, I installed "Parcellite" from rpmforge
and  it is working well.

Thank you for the help,
-T
