I have problems with my clipboard, that I never experienced with other

Ctrl-v' e.g. in Eclipse the second selection is not overwritten by the
content of the first selection.
It seems that the clipboard content is overwritten as soon as I mark
text. This behaviour is not depending on the window manager/ desktop
environment (I tried fvwm and kde), so it is probably some X
configuration stuff. As far as I have understood, there are 2 different
clipboards with one being changed as soon as you mark text (pasting at
mouse-middle-click) and the other is changed by pressing Ctrl-c (pasting
at Ctrl-v). Is that correct?
If so, then it seems that for me mouse-selection and Ctrl-c write into
the same buffer. Can anyone give me a hint, where to look for the
possibility to change this behaviour?
I just wanted to tell you, that I solved the problem now. Starting with
the answer that the clipboard in KDE is configurable to use different
buffers, I changed this setting and it worked then in KDE.
After that I tried to work out, why it didn't work in fvwm over then,
but I simply couldn't reproduce this behaviour. My apologies for the
wrong starting point in the discussion. The problem was simply a KDE
problem and nothing else.
Cheers,
Heinz
