Oooooooh!  I didn't realize how far behind I am:
   KDE 3.1.3 on MDK 9.2

Hmm.  Given the age of my version it may just be a bug.

I stopped Klipper & it still happens.  I may need to reboot

that I just need to exit my last Konsole session to make it
notice the new state.

Thanks for testing it out.
