There is a Qt based alternative to Klipper you might try called CopyQ.  Here is a write-up:
http://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/2013/154/CopyQ

I didn't encounter any issues with Klipper on kde4.  I previously used Klipper quite a bit, but now I've switched to CopyQ... it has a few more bells and whistles.  

Worth a shot, at least until whatever the issue you're experiencing with Klipper is resolved; and who knows, you may also find you like it better.

It's also available in the Fedora repository:  dnf install copyq

In F21 it uses Qt4, in F22 and onwards it uses Qt5.
