For me (Debian Woody with KDE2 and with KDE3-woody)
the problem is pasting _from_ jed to KDE-apps:

  * The selection does not show up in the kicker.
  * It does not insert in Konqueror, the "Run Command" popup, Kate, ...
  * However, it inserts in rxvt, mutt, xedit...

One more tricky thing: Selecting just up to 3 characters work, 4 characters
work sometimes.

Pasting _to_ jed from anywhere is no problem.


Other slang-using applications (mutt, mc) work in both directions.

The (unofficially patched) SuSE version worked as well (if I remember
right). I gave it up as it was very outdated.

You are right. I wondered where the lines

WARNING: KDE detected X Error: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter) 5
 Major opcode:  17

in my .xsession-errors file come from. I can now relate them to the
selecting of text in jed with the mouse (but have no idea what this means).
