I lost your original mail, so sorry if this is not threaded properly. 

Question: does the bug manifest itself only in KDE apps or in others? 

Ctrl+c should also copy to clipboard in, say, firefox, if you have it
installed. Does it do the same thing? If yes: do you have another WM 
installed and can you try running firefox under the other WM to see if
it behaves similarly? This should help figure out whether it is a KDE
issue or an X issue.

If you open an xterm, and hit Ctrl+c, does it reboot X (a long shot,
but if it does happens, it means something else is grabbing the event
and passing it up before the xterm sees it and passes it to the shell
in it)?

Also, what is in your ~/.xinitrc?
