clipboard.get_selection sometimes fails

This error occurs when there is no text received from the X selection. There is
nothing that can be done about it, probably would be good to have a nicer error 
from
AutoKey though.

Any idea why it would only happen when the AutoKey configuration window is not 
open?

No idea... there's a small test you could try though:

In the method __execAsync() at line 713 of 
/usr/share/pyshared/autokey/scripting.py,
replace the entire method body with the following code:
        self.sem = threading.Semaphore(0)
        gtk.gdk.threads_enter()
        callback(*args)
        gtk.gdk.threads_leave()
        self.sem.acquire()

See if that improves the reliability...

I think that may have fixed it.  I used it last night and this morning, and it 
has
not failed at all.  Thanks.
