I'm not sure, but I doubt that it would work under Linux. It's a general security issue: If your browser has free access to 
your clipboard, then what happens if you for example copy-and-paste a password in some application, then forget your password 
in the clipboard, then you surf to a malicious website, and a script on that site grabs your clipboard contents? This would 
be a severe security hole on ANY operating system.
