I wanted to replace it with something more like twisted's "deferred", but haven't got around to it. There were a number of issues in the clipboard code, but this one has not risen to the top of the never ending todo list yet..

Yes, what we've added is more of a hack for OR menus, to ensure they move with their parent.
