That was it. I've had klipper for ages, not changed any settings, and 
when I logged into a kdm session for the first time since upgrading to 
KDE 3.5.4, I was lead to (re)select my KDE preferences - maybe a new 
default was set for klipper. I never touched klipper settings, but after 
the upgrade, klipper's default behaviour had changed. I've since changed 
it back thanks to your directions (-:.
