 * on OSX, we have to use polling to see client-side changes (see #11)
 * the HTML5 client can only access the clipboard when the browser decides it is appropriate to do so (usually following clicks or specific key combinations)
-* the xpra clibboard code is also problematic: the [/browser/xpra/trunk/src/xpra/gtk_common/nested_main.py nested main loop] code is known to cause serious problems on some platforms

-As noted in the [/wiki/FAQ], running a clipboard manager will interfere with the clipboard synchronization. At best, it will cause unnecessary traffic, at worst it can cause sluggishness and even crashes.
+As noted in the [/wiki/FAQ], running a clipboard manager will interfere with the clipboard synchronization.
 
-In order to prevent such issues, the code will automatically disable the clipboard if it looks like the synchronization is entering a loop.
-You will see a message in the log output indicating:
-{{{
-clipboard disabled: more than 10 clipboard requests per second!
-}}}
-The maximum number of requests per second can be tuned setting the environment variable {{{XPRA_CLIPBOARD_LIMIT}}} to the desired value on the server. ie:
-{{{
-XPRA_CLIPBOARD_LIMIT=20 xpra start ...
-}}}
+At best, it will cause unnecessary traffic, at worst it can cause sluggishness and synchronization problems.
