Bug#549449: Copy and paste fails if klipper is running
Package: openoffice.org-impress
Version: 1:3.1.1-2
Copy and paste of content fails in Openoffice Impress if the KDE utility
klipper is running.
I am running a Debian testing system with KDE desktop. The utility
klipper is started automatically after opening a KDE session. I have
tried to copy content from one presentation to another presentation in
Openoffice Impress. Pasting has failed in several cases. After copying
the object in one presentation, the menu entry 'edit/paste' remains
inactive (grayed out) in the second presentation. Only copying of pure
text works.
After stopping the klipper utility, copy and paste works as expected
for all kinds of objects.
When I restart klipper from the command prompt, the problems with copy
and paste reoccur. The failure is spurious since often the first copying
of a graphical object is successful while any further attempts to
copy graphical objects fail.
When klipper is started form the command prompt, the following error
mesages are dumped to the console.

The 'Cannot set X11 selection owner ...' message occurs when I do a copy
in Impress (eg move content to the clipboard).
The 'Cannot transfer data, no data available' message occurs when I do a
past in Impress (eg retrieve content from the clipboard).
