Clipboard is something a bit special (because handled by X and by Qt - even 
before KDE can do something about it).
Qt, as of 1.42, clipboard is text-only, and not associated to a type.
Qt 2.0 implements a clipboard with mimetype to determine the contents,
multiple formats for the data (I think), and binary data (afaik).
So when we switch to Qt 2.0, we'll benefit from all this.

This clipboard problem doesn't prevent us from taking design decisions now
for KDE 2.0, and this involves the technology we call openparts. Nothing
wrong in thinking about the future as well as fixing bugs in the current KDE.
