when doing: xclip -i file and then wanting to paste via middel mouse button in konqueror doesn't work. i've no idea why.
Does the content appear in klipper?
No. It does not.
I've tested xclip with every one of it's clipboards (check `man xclip' for a list) - none was showing in klipper. it's possible to get the clipboard content using xclip, but not to set it. Adding qt for advice on this.
Fixed with xclip-0.08-r2, patch from Debian. Thanks for reporting.
