Since the problem really seems to be complicated enough what about the
following proposal:

Wouldn't it be nice if Lubos removed the reverse feature so for KDE 3.1
we would only have the less error prone one-way selection->clipboard
syncing?

Then (after release) one could dig deeper into this things and try to
find a solution that matches all requerenments - or stay with the
one-way syncing if it finally turns out that there is indeed no sane
way to implement it otherwise...

So we would have something stable for the 3.1 release.

Does that sound good?
