With the fancontrol daemon, the fan will be controlled by software using user-defined temperature rules (for example, 30C=40% Fan, 40C=50% Fan, 50C=70% Fan, etc.) > I've also noticed two seperate clipboards.

This is a feature, not a bug ;) That way you have a temporary clipboard as well as a main clipboard. I don't know if it can be disabled (since I like this feature and therefore never bothered to check how to turn it off :P)
