Requested Clipboard format not available

Hello,

I recently upgraded to Suse11 from 10.3
I used to be able to open konqueror and select a bunch of files select COPY and then I could open openoffice writer and select to PASTE SPECIAL - Unformatted text…then the filenames/paths would be dumped into the documents.

I can no longer do this as I get an error Requested Clipboard format not available.

suggestions
thank you for your time
