For some reason Klipper seems to have defaulted its "Synchronize 
contents of the clipboard and the selection" setting to on in KDE SC 
4.4-beta. Right-click the Klipper icon and choose "Configure Klipper" to 
get to the settings page if you want to turn it off -- and report a bug 
to KDE, if you think it's a bad default. ^_^
