Fix Glipper Startup Bug

Glipper is clipboardmanager for GNOME. I use it extensively when writing. The only problem is that there is a bug that crashes Glipper when loading the GNOME desktop.

Glipper starts before a service it needs, resulting in this error message:
The panel encountered a problem while loading OAFIID:Glipper....

By adding a delay to Glipper at startup we can allow all need components to load before Glipper.

in a terminal type:

sudo gedit /usr/lib/glipper/glipper

add these two lines at the top of the file to delay glipper from loading:

import time
time.sleep(8)

- if your computer is older you might have to increase the (8) to a larger number.

Your file should look very similar to this:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import time

time.sleep(8)
