In WindowMaker, it is either the default, or an option, that when docked app launcher's are invoked with a middle-click, they are invoked with the clipboard contents as the argument. I would love something like this in Xfce. Even allow the user to configure the cmd to invoke w/ the middle-button. Perhaps even there could be some standard variables that could be specified on launcher command lines that would be expanded at the time of launch. For example, there might be a "clipboard contents" variable so, I could use a command line like this: MozillaFirebird $(clipboard) and that would invoke MozillaFirebird with the contents of the clipboard as the first argument.
feature request should not be filled here. Please make feature request either on the wiki or better on xfce4-dev list (this is a good idea though :) Olivier.
Perhaps this should be closed.
