OK, but still doesn't explain why the default of ` select-active-regions'
is changed from

23 nil

to

24 t

The latter caused problems, the former not.

BTW just see there is another variables-default changed

x-select-enable-clipboard

23 nil
24 on

that may cause the bug with KDE 3.5 likewise

maybe is the cause in first order?
