The default Klipper configuration seems to have the "Separete clipboard and selection" option set, rather than the "Synchronize contents of the clipboard and selection" option. This results in what I found to be confusing behavior, as it makes a distinction between text copied via the traditional X copy on paste behavior and the "edit->copy" behavior in KDE apps.
I've seen a couple of other confused posts to -user and -kde [1] that all seem to have been fixed by switching this Klipper behavior. I'd like to suggest that the default Klipper configuration be changed in Debian. I think that offerring behavior consistant with what experienced users expect from X will lead to less confusion and improved "out of the box" usability. Are there cases where the currect default is preferable? Simon Hepburn's post in [2] contains a bit of a breakdown of what behavior changes with the different configuration options, and it seems from that that the current default is not ideal. noah [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2003/debian-kde-200305/msg00350.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/debian-user-200308/msg00741.html [2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2003/debian-kde-200305/msg00428.html
