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... > > > > Hi!

Some of us like to move on to > better things. 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 bye, gabor --
