[Bug 518813] [NEW] Cut & Paste from KDE apps fails

[rfehren]

Public bug reported:

In Kubuntu 9.10, cut&paste stopped working for me between KDE and Non-
KDE applications. To be more precise: I am talking about the standard
X11 cut&paste mechanism where you select with the left button of the
mouse, and paste with the middle button. The  effect is pretty strange.
Best example is from konsole: I can cut&paste between different konsoles
but nut cut in a konsole and paste e.g. in firefox or emacs. On the
other hand, I can cut in Emacs/Firefox and paste in the konsole or other
KDE applications. So it is pasting out of KDE to Non-KDE applications
which is not working. However even pasting to a different KDE
application from say konsole doesn't work anymore. This problem started
after the upgrade from jaunty to karmic. To make things even more
complicated: Sometimes things work allright for some time after a fresh
login, and sometimes it doesn't work right from the start.

I tried different KDE versions from the backport repo up to the current
4.3.5, but none of them work. One slight complication of my setup: I am
working in a x2go (version 3.0.1).
