hi angus,
it's really all trial and error (little kid groping in the dark).
as you've noticed i even missed the other wa_ptr's, but my guess is that klipper 
is hanging there, and that since i've removed the "wa_ptr = this;" it no longer 
happens...

i think the changes below put the data into the clipboard instead of the mouse 
selection (setSelectionMode should be false?)

i just don't really understand why selections are so complicated compared to 
copy and cut's. why not send a signal (with a string) to the frontend on 
selection. the frontend can then push it to the selection buffer (if it exists). 
and if a copy or cut follows put the string to the clipboard.

but as said. i am very ignorant (and just waiting for john to flame me... ;-)
