If I take your desire to be like the Windows Paste function, I do not believe there is direct way to do this (Crtl-C, Ctrl-V).
However you can send the screen bitmap to the clipboard by using the Print Screen button of a Windows OS PC. This screen dump can be added to a presentation by many means. I use Open Office, not PP, so I have assume the function is similar, but it may not be.... To add this screen dump to a slide in an OO Presentation, I Insert an OLE Object, Further Objects, Bitmap Image, in the Picture Editor that comes up I Paste the clipboard image. The object in the presentation can then be manipulated within the slide. I actually use Google Picasa more often for screen captured images than the clipboard, but the clipboard is always present on a Windows OS PC. In this case I press Ctrl-Print Screen and Picasa (if it was running previously) brings the screen bitmap directly into its Screen Capture folder in My Documents, My Pictures, Picasa. I then use Picasa to crop or otherwise doctor the image before saving. Then in OO Presntation I would Insert the imagea as a Picture File. For more indepth image management I would use Inkscape or Gimp then likewise Insert the image as a Picture File. You can of course use native functions of Dia to create output (via Export) for Insert-ion to PP as a Picture File. I think a png format works well for this, but I again I am only able to use Open Office for testing this. PP and OO have similarities. I do screen dumps because they are by nature WYSIWYG; by this manner I am not surprised as I may be using the numerous export methods.
