I found the reason with reading carefully the help of the Klipper application; one must enable the following: Synchronize contents of the clipboard and the selection Sets the clipboard mode. When an area of the screen is selected with mouse or keyboard, this is called the “selection”. If this option is selected, the selection and the clipboard is kept the same, so that anything in the selection is immediately available for pasting elsewhere using any method, including the traditional middle mouse button. Otherwise, the selection is recorded in the clipboard history, but the selection can only be pasted using the middle mouse button. Also see the Ignore selection option. See the section called “Clipboard/Selection Behavior”. With this it works like it should. And this option was enabled in the KDE4 Klipper (maybe as default, because I do not remember having ever touch this). matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ guru@unixarea.de, http://www.unixarea.de/ +49-176-38902045 Public GnuPG key: http://www.unixarea.de/key.pub
