Okay, thanks... well in that case, we need to come up with a proposal
for how we can do it better in the GNOME HTML component, and quick  :)  

Anybody got any suggestions as to how you would select/copy text and
images etc. from an HTML page without using the mouse?  I guess you'd
need some sort of selection cursor, but you wouldn't want one of those
showing up in every page that your browser threw at you-- maybe it would
only appear when you gave the HTML component keyboard focus?

Cheeri,
Calum.
