According to the KDE documentation:

  Klipper is the KDE clipboard utility. It stores clipboard history,
  and allows you to link clipboard contents to application actions.

If I disable it and try pasting text from the CLIM Listener to a
Konsole, the text is pasted correctly and I only get these 2 messages
(no longer an infinite loop):

#<CLIM-CLX::CLX-SELECTION-REQUEST-EVENT {598A0ED5}> is an instance of type CLX-SELECTION-REQUEST-EVENT
   it has the following slots:
      TIMESTAMP: 4226073
          SHEET: #<CLIM:INTERACTOR-PANE CLIM-LISTENER::INTERACTOR {59DED39D}>
         REGION: <unbound>
      SELECTION: :PRIMARY
      REQUESTOR: #<XLIB:WINDOW :0 33554937>
         TARGET: :TARGETS
       PROPERTY: :_QT_SELECTION
;; Warning, unhandled type "TARGETS". Trying to send as UTF8_STRING.
;; clim-clx::send-selection - Requested target TARGETS, sent UTF8_STRING to property NIL.
#<CLIM-CLX::CLX-SELECTION-REQUEST-EVENT {59919455}> is an instance of type CLX-SELECTION-REQUEST-EVENT
   it has the following slots:
      TIMESTAMP: 4226073
          SHEET: #<CLIM:INTERACTOR-PANE CLIM-LISTENER::INTERACTOR {59DED39D}>
         REGION: <unbound>
      SELECTION: :PRIMARY
      REQUESTOR: #<XLIB:WINDOW :0 33554937>
         TARGET: :COMPOUND_TEXT
       PROPERTY: :_QT_SELECTION
;; clim-clx::send-selection - Requested target COMPOUND_TEXT, sent COMPOUND_TEXT to property _QT_SELECTION.

So, it looks like this is a KDE thing.  No big deal, once I am aware
of this.

I don't use Klipper much anyway, so I'll probably keep it disabled.

Thanks,
