dpkg is used to install packages that you downloaded manually as opposed the
automated process of using apt-get or synaptic. It also has uses for manually or
automatically configuring packages during or after installation. The
-i switch means
"install". 'man dpkg' or 'dpkg --help' will explain the other
uses of dpkg.
Getting all the libraries installed manually is tedious, but dpkg will
tell you what the
missing dependencies are and install the 'broken' package anyway.
You'll be forced to
remove and re-install it in the course of fixing the dependencies.

You can probably install and run the Kde4 version of Klipper in TDE,
but apt-get will want to install most of Kde4 DE as dependencies.
A leaner installation may be possible by manually downloading and installing
Klipper with dpkg -i, and working through all the deps by hand.
It won't install straight off the bat, but dpkg will tell you what the
dependencies are.

I'm not familiar with the command "dpkg -i"... How would I use it to
install the new Klipper? I don't mind installing the libraries if it works
ok.
