I just hit an interesting problem with KDE. Don't know if it has something to do with Fedora. If I select some text from an application, and then close the application, the text is not available for pasting. It is not happening with KDE apps alone, but I'm running KDE. I tried with GEdit & Opera & Konsole as well. Same problem. Can somebody confirm this?
And, I don't have klipper running.

I think that's just standard X behavior (using klipper may help, mitigate that problem however).

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..
