Yes it can--'least, that's what I'm told.  I don't have
KDE handy, though I'm an old hand at X.

There are a few small hurdles along the way, though.
X distinguishes the PRIMARY selection (typically <But-
tonPress-2>) from the CLIPBOARD selection (used for
explicit "Cut", "Copy", and "Paste").  You might need
a ^v for ^y (or vice-versa?).  Does that get you closer?
