Hi!

   I have to make some correction to my previous testcases.
Now I see clearer what the situation is:

1. I copy something in a Windows application
   - paste in a Windows application works
   - paste in Konsole works
2. I select something in Konsole
   - in the clipboard viewer I see the _old_ selection(from 1.)
   - xwinclip says: SelectionNotify UTF8
   - paste in Konsole(or xterm) works(paste the selection from Konsole)
   - paste in a Windows application doesn't work
     (paste the _old_ selection, that is: selection from 1.)
3. I copy something in a Windows application
   - in the clipboard viewer I see the _previous_ selection from Konsole!!!
   - xwinclip says: SelectionNotify UTF8
   - paste in a Windows application works(selection from Konsole)
   - paste in Konsole works(selection from Konsole)
4. I copy something again in a Windows application
   - in the clipboard viewer I see the current selection
   - paste in a Windows application works(current selection)
   - paste in Konsole works(current selection)

5. With xterm everything is fine.

So I think, that Konsole use the PRIMARY SELECTION, but I don't
see what the problem is.

I made some other tests too, but the results were too chaotish, I can't
reproduce them every time.
