1050This is caused by a bug in the clipboard management applets (it has
1051been observed in 'klipper' and 'clipit'), which periodically request
1052the X clipboard contents from applications. After a while, Emacs may
1053print a message:

1055 Timed out waiting for property-notify event
1056
1057A workaround is to not use 'klipper'/'clipit'. Upgrading 'klipper' to
1058the one coming with KDE 3.3 or later might solve the problem; if it
1059doesn't, set 'select-active-regions' to 'only' or nil.

1154This is caused by a bug in the KDE applet 'klipper' which periodically
1155requests the X clipboard contents from applications. Early versions
1156of klipper don't implement the ICCCM protocol for large selections,
1157which leads to Emacs being flooded with selection requests. After a
