where you want the text copied. Click the middle button on the mouse to insert the text
(on a two-button mouse, press both mouse buttons simultaneously).
With some applications, if a text is already selected in the application where you want
to insert the text, this method does not work because the text in the clipboard is overwritten
by the other selected text. For such cases, the KDE application Klipper is very
useful. Klipper “remembers” the last entries you have moved to the clipboard. By default,
Klipper is started when KDE is loaded and appears as a clipboard icon in the panel. To
view the clipboard contents, click the Klipper icon. The most recent entry is listed on
top and is marked as active with a black check mark. If an extensive text was copied
to Klipper, only the first line of the text is displayed.
To copy an older text fragment from Klipper to an application, select it by clicking it,
move the mouse pointer to the target application, then middle-click. For further information
about Klipper, see the Klipper online help.
5.10 Important Utilities
The following pages introduce a number of small KDE utilities intended to assist in
daily work. These applications perform various tasks, such as managing your Internet
connections and your passwords, creating data archives, and viewing PDF files.
5.10.1 Managing Internet Connections with
KNetworkManager
You can establish Internet connections with NetworkManager or KInternet. For a description
of KInternet, see Chapter Managing Internet Connections with KInternet
(↑Applications). In YaST, select whether to use NetworkManager. For a list of criteria
that help you to decide whether to use NetworkManager or other applications and for
further information, refer to Section “Managing Network Connections with Network-
Manager” (Chapter 18, Basic Networking, ↑Reference) and Section “Integration in
Changing Operating Environments” (Chapter 30, Mobile Computing with Linux,
↑Reference).
When NetworkManager is enabled, you can monitor your network connections in KDE
with the KNetworkManager applet. Click the KNetworkManager icon in the system
tray to see a list of available network connections, such as wired, wireless, dial-up, or
