Clipit's Offline Mode?
The version of the Clipit applet in 14.04's repos has an "offline mode" option. It is not really clear what it does, as Clipit seems to lack support for any Pastebin site. Any ideas?

Save last "copy" from clipboard to file
I am able to copy a massive string of text but unable to paste it anywhere without the program crashing.
So, I wonder: How can I fetch it from the clipboard via CLI and save it to a file instead?
