Clarify what's the problem with KDE's klipper applet.

EOF
--------------------------------

* Emacs hangs on KDE when a large portion of text is killed.

This happens because KDE intercepts the X clipboard and appears not to
notify Emacs properly when it is done.  A C-g will not interrupt this:
Emacs will print "Quit", but will continue waiting.  After a while,
Emacs will print a message:

  Timed out waiting for property-notify event

A workaround is to kill the KDE application called `klipper'.

* Emacs compiled with DJGPP for MS-DOS/MS-Windows cannot access files
in the directory with the special name `dev' under the root of any
drive, e.g. `c:/dev'.

EOF
--------------------------------

* Emacs hangs on KDE when a large portion of text is killed.

This is caused by a bug in the KDE applet `klipper' which periodically
requests the X clipboard contents from applications.  Early versions
of klipper don't implement the ICCM protocol for large selections,
which leads to Emacs being flooded with selection requests.  After a
while, Emacs will print a message:

  Timed out waiting for property-notify event

A workaround is to not use `klipper'.

* Emacs compiled with DJGPP for MS-DOS/MS-Windows cannot access files
in the directory with the special name `dev' under the root of any
drive, e.g. `c:/dev'.
