Even if you want Qt2/KDE2 behaviour there is no need to "set the selection from
the clipboard". The fact that klipper does so triggers bugs - the bug is in the
misfeature, not in QTextEdit or other apps which simply set something into the clipboard.

IMHO you can get the "KDE standard clipboard behaviour" by setting the 
clipboard from the selection (i.e. "Copy" is a no-op), no need for the other 
way round (which leads to wrong deselections). This is the heart of the issue
here: would this feature be enough to get a qt2/kde2-like behaviour or not?
