I was really annoyed by the default X copy/paste settings in KDE as well. My problems were fixed by configuring Klipper, the KDE clipboard manager. Right-click on the clipboad icon oon your KDE panel and select "Configure Klipper". My annoyances were fixed by setting the "Synchronize contents of the clipboard and the selection" option. That option seems to make copy/paste consistant across different GUI toolkits, while the alternative seems to make a distinction between normal X "copy on select" clipboard behavior and KDE explicit "Edit menu->copy" behavior. I'm not sure if this option is the root of your problems, too, but it sounds like it could be. It certainly resulted in inconsistant clipboard behavior for me. Or rather, I guess it was *consistant* but certainly not consistant with the way X behaves normally. HTH, noah
