hola
I like the clipboard but I cannot get the download manage to work and see these bugs in launchpad: but no fixes…ANY ideas?
Using Ubuntu 8.04.1 and up to date.
log:
Could not load type ‘DesktopDataManager.Backend.DownloadManager.DownloadManagerRemotingClient’ from assembly ‘DownloadManager, Version=0.8.11.8308, Culture=neutral’.
Stacktrace:

These instructions didn’t work for me because dependencies weren’t being pulled in.
I only cared about ddm-screenshot. To get it working on Lubuntu 10.10, I did the following. I don’t know if libmono1.0-cil was needed or if I should have installed libmono2.0-cil.
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/data-manager/desktop-data-manager_0.8.5_i386.deb
apt-get install mono-runtime libmono1.0-cil gtk-sharp2
dpkg -i desktop-data-manager_0.8.5_i386.deb
ddm-screenshot works when capturing a full screen, but explodes when trying to capture an area or a window.
