For example I just went to www.topgear.com in Konq but it displays nothing as it's not a konq friendly site, so I copied the URL from the address bar and opened FireFox to paste the address there. However there's nothing in the clipboard to paste. Open another Konq and hit paste and it's there.
I don't know why KDE apps and not KDE apps can't talk to each other a little better.
just to add to the list responders so far, it works for me also.
this part is what I love about Linux, to copy anything to the clipboard, you just highlight it with your cursor. And to paste it, just MMB - or middle mouse button click where you want to paste it.
Wow! I had no idea that capability was there! Maybe I'm the last kid on the block to know about this one, but that's really slick.
Ctrl-c and Ctrl-v also works - same as M$.

That functionality has been a part of X since at least '92. A couple more nifty features for stuffing the clipboard: - Double-click highlights a word. - Triple-click highlights a whole line. - Drag text from one window to another. E.g., double click on a word here-- date for instance--, then use mouse-3 (commonly both mouse buttons) to drag that word to a terminal window, then release it. Enjoy. -- "This world ain't big enough for the both of us," said the big noema to the little noema.
