2. Attempt to paste the copied string into another program, (eg a browser). 

OBSERVED RESULT
1. This may work, but when it doesn't, either nothing or an earlier copied object is pasted.
2. Examine the list of copied objects in KWallet and note that the copied tesxt is not present

EXPECTED RESULT
The copied text is reliably pasted.
