i don't really understand your argument here... you can
use your/the-old/the-standard/the-linux-way copy-paste 
(highlight and middle click) everywhere.. in gnome
and in kde too... i personally use it most of times, 
but sometimes it's not an easy thing to do..

for example:
i highlight a http-address in an e-mail.. now i switch
to mozilla/konqueror/whatever and want to paste the link.
but first i have to clear the old address, so i have to
click at the end of the old address and clear the whole line
with backspace... of course i could highlight the old adress 
and press DEL, but that will erase the new-address from the 
clipboard...
when using the windows-way-copy/paste, i copy the address, 
i select the old-address, and delete it, and then i paste 
the new one..

so as you can see sometimes the first way is easier, 
sometimes the second..

it's only a matter of what you got used to...

the second thing i don't understand.. you mean that gnome 
follows the windows interface? ( and kde does not ? )


btw. i don't think won't bring anything useful, except for 
a gnome vs. kde flamewar
