And thanks god we have klipper by default... If not, plasma will simply go crazy \

Technically:
I do not at all understand why KWindowSystem is *not* watching the root window - \
KSelectionOwner for one is sending events to the root and this also seems the case \
for all other WMs (at least everything now starts to cause the signal to be emitted)

The KSelectionWatcher failure seems to be kwin specific (wrote me a cleaner \
