Addition to clipboard handling (bug?)

[Andras Mantia]

After a little more research (and an updated kdelibs) I realized that KDevelop 
is the one who does not paste from PRIMARY,but from the CLIPBOARD, even when 
you try to do it with MMB. As this branch of KDevelop is more or less dead, I 
cannot do anything, but wait for Gideon (and definetly don't have time to 
search and fix it in KDevelop) to get mature and usable.
 So in this case it wasn't a khtml bug, but if you can point me what cases 
does your patch fix, I will gladly test it.
