That would be why. You have to use Klipper for this to work. The X11 clipboard contents are stored within the application "owning" the clipboard, if you close it, poof, there goes the clipboard. Klipper fixes this by taking ownership of the clipboard automatically.
Oh.. thanks for the info. I've always thought of Klipper as a not-so-useful utility (I never used it's 'advanced' features). But now I see how pasting worked without issues with KDE3- I always had Klipper running. Now, once I have klipper running, pasting works fine. Thanks guys..
