Klipper hangs

[Steve Corwin <steve@blackball.us>]

When I try to pop up klipper it hangs.  Not only that, but if I invoke 
it with a keystroke it blocks all keyboard input until I use the mouse 
to start a process manager and kill it.  If I use the mouse to invoke it 
 then all mouse input is blocked and most keyboard input too, but I can 
get to a different virtual console and kill it from there.

This is happening on two different machines, both updated to KDE 3.2.2 
and both running sarge (testing).  The only bug I found that seems 
relevant is 83659, "Prevent empty clipboard" option makes klipper hang. 
 However I turned that option off and klipper still hangs.

Has anybody else seen this?

Thanks,
Steve
