A month or 2 back, I was lamenting the loss of clipmate from windows. Its a
clipboard tool that holds multiple clipboard entries. The only thing I saw
like this in linux is klipper, but I'm on gnome. I just ran 'apt-get
install klipper', and it worked without problems. This is one of those
things that I was very impressed with during my initial linux experiences.
kdesvn appears to only be in the next version of ubuntu's repositories. I'm
a little concerned that trying to install that might update some packages
and create issues with my install, so I'd either need to do a general update
to the next version, or hold off for a bit.
