At least upto kde3rc3 in configure of klipper you could tick "sync selection 
to clipboard" which syncs the two systems. There was some talk of taking this 
out for the kde3 relese though. If its not there then blame those morons who 
were incapable doing something a bit different to "the way I'm used to" and 
to whom turning a feature off was just too hard!! (The poor blighters)  and 
who just whinged continuously. I thought it was an elegant solution easily 
turned off for those who were confused by it and I hope it is still there.

How about clicking to bring up the pager and then right-clicking on it and 
selecting configure pager and then selecting between 
classical/vertical/horizontal. Dont these things have manuals?
