Yeah, you're right.  I had mentioned earlier that the native windows
type dialogs are probably not as accessible to cut/past as the
terminal but dunno about virtual windows either.  I think for these
examples a cut/paste function from the flat review function would be a
good compromize; just cut or copy into the standard gnome clipboard
and then it could be pasted into a terminal or wherever.  I would
think that nearly 100% of info cut or copied in this manner would be
text so could only logically be pasted in places like text boxes,
terminal, form fields, etc.
