IIRC default build is some kind of debug build, so the Version tool showing up 
is to be expected. It is just the release build, where this tool/monitor is 
disabled.

What do you mean with "not working properly"? Works all as intended here.

Currently copy and cut send data to the clipboard with the 
mimetype "application/octetstream", Klipper does not know how to display 
that. And almost all other program cannot handle this, too, as this is simpy 
raw data. But KHexEdit and other Okteta program instances can, so it works.

But this seems not to be what people expect. Will perhaps change this for 4.2 
to also copy the chars or the values as "text/plain", depending of the active 
column.

Ouch, indeed. Will fix this...

Please, could you send this as diff, so I can spot what the changes are? E.g. 
the output of "svn diff $file" would help.
