That IS one of my short list of peeves about Linux - the clipboard being 
somewhat non-standard.   Though if you have Klipper, it's much more powerful 
than the windows single-clipboard arrangement.  (My other pet peeve is that 
mounting/unmounting of media defaults to root- no, it's not a big pain to 
change it but it's irritating to have to explain it to newbies.)

Mega-dittos on the keyboard.  In fact, keyboards are just too darn big; I 
always buy a smaller version, preferably without the numeric pad.   The Sun 
keyboards I've tried had cut, copy, paste; that was cool.
