  Just wondering: why did you integrate directly into KWin, instead of adding this to the existing helper process? My motivation to use a dedicated process was to ensure that KWin cannot be attacked through the X clipboard (the data is hold by the helper process, not by KWin). If you think having it in KWin is better I suggest a follow up change to move the normal clipboard functionality also into the xwl directory.
