KWrite to Konsole (Slackware 13 32bit + KDE) is not a problem, however copying from the "OKular" PDF Reader I'm using does do some odd things, however the paste to KWrite usually reveals them and I fix them, then paste the result into Konsole. I'm not sure why I couldn't get it to work (Perl + external ZLib) however I will revisit again as I like ken's reasoning for why it can matter (using a bundled sub-package) versus using the main packages: easier over all maintenance (patches/vunerabilties). I'm going to revisit this, as being fouled up for something as silly as cut-n-paste is pretty frustrating if that is indeed what happened here.
