The only thing that changes when you unset x-select-enable-clipboard, is
that copy and yank between Emacs and other applications use the primary
selection mechanism of X rather than the clipboard. So if the results of
yanking differ, then the other application must be putting different
text on the clipboard than what it has in its primary selection. If you
search for [KHTML clipboard 0xA0], you'll find reports to that effect.

Looking at the code for 3.5.5
(http://websvn.kde.org/tags/KDE/3.5.5/kdelibs/khtml/khtml_ext.cpp), the
bug has been fixed in KHTML, but there is an "extensionProxy" mechanism
that allows applications to override KHTML's behaviour, so I wonder if
KMail uses that and therefore does not get the benefit of the bug fix.
