[ale] Coupla RedHat/KDE warts

[Dow Hurst]

Under RH9.0 you can look inside your .kde/Autostart/ for a 
file called Autorun.desktop.  Just archive it somewhere else 
and get it out of this Autostart folder.  Then autorun 
shouldn't be started when you log in under KDE.


The Klipper is the culprit for that irritating clipboard 
function.  If you check out how to configure klipper it can 
become quite useful.  The irritating stuff is easily stopped 
by reconfiguring how it runs.
