Run qtconfig and make sure you have turned antialiasing on for qt based
applications. Cut/PAste has been expanded and now meets industry standards
and so will work with all apps. The correct method is to use cut/paste from
a menu or with control keys. You can still use the old X=console selectopm
mode and middle button paste but be aware that klipper may confuse this
unless it was modified before the release (there was some talk of removing
the sync selection to clipboard in klipper).  In any case if you play around
with it you will get it right.
