Have you gone so far as to move your .kde (or .kde3, whatever RH uses) and 
then restarting kde to generate a new one?  Try this, then fiddle around with 
the AA options again.  If it works then its probably just a configuration 
problem from upgrading from 2.2.  Personally I use seperate .kde directories 
(.kde2 and .kde3) and just have .kde a symlink to either one depending on 
which kde im running.

Try going to kicker preferences, then to extentions.  From there you can 
configure each extention that you've added.  I have to agree that this is 
hard to find though.  I dont understand why going to the preferences of each 
extention does not show _all_ the options that extention is capable of.  
There is absolutely no reason for two seperate configuration dialogs.

Perhaps this should be done like the preferences of konqueror?
You could have a 'master window" with an icon on the left side for the main 
panel, and extra ones for each extention?

Thats not weird, that the "way its supposed to work."  There are two different 
clipboards in kde and gnome.  the one that gets filled implicitly when you 
select a string with your mouse and the one that gets filled when you do 
ctrl-c.  To paste the former, use the middle mouse button, to paste the 
latter, do ctrl-v.  It may seem weird at first, but from a programmers point 
of view, it sure is nice.
