OK, so we're at least second generation OT now, but... it's fun. =:^)

1) You can see what pan does with rewrapping when auto-wrap is on and I 
don't manually rewrap... obviously not perfect.  (I'd normally either 
turn wrapping off for that or rewrap it manually, but since it came up...)

2) Had you heard, CDE has been open-sourced now! =:^)  Rather late, but 
they did open-source it, announcement maybe a month ago.  (I switched 
from MS when they crossed the line I couldn't/wouldn't cross with 
eXPrivacy, tho I'd tried Linux before that, but that was after CDE, so 
kde2's CDE color theme was about the closest I got to CDE, personally.)

3) Back on topic, KDE of course has a send-to menu, which can AFAIK be 
modified via modifying the appropriate *.desktop service entries, but 
that's for sending files, not arbitrary text.

4) Of course for text, there's klipper and its config.  Set it up 
correctly, and you get a popup when either selected (X-style-clipboard) 
or copied (MS-style clipboard) text matches a configurable regex.  The 
popup can then have one or more selectable actions associated with it.  I 
use that quite a bit here, having quite a number of customized regexes 
and associated actions.
