Hi, thanks,

however, think that KDE matter points into the wrong direction.

24 works now so far after setting `select-active-regions' other than 
`always'
23 works right out of the box, as these setting is nil.

All I'm saying is: Probably you will get more bug reports, is the 
default-setting of
`select-active-regions' remains `always'.

Just let the user do that, if wanted.
