"This bug is an Epic Fail, because it's 2009 and still we do not *fully*
support trivial things like copy/paste."

I couldn't agree more. I always say: "How can we ever solve bug number
one if Ubuntu (or more general "Linux") can't even remember an image I
placed on the clipboard two seconds ago?"

"Fortunately this works well in KDE."

Is this true? I know KDE includes Klipper (KDE-version of Glipper) by
default. Glipper only supports text. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I
assume KDE's copy and paste function also supports text only. So, if
you're running Firefox and you copy a picture (for instance the
launchpad logo on the top of this page), you close Firefox, start The
GIMP and try to paste the logo from the clipboard the clipboard is
empty.

I don't use KDE, so I don't know how it works exactly. I only know
Klipper is included by default and I assume in KDE you're left with the
same functionality as when running GNOME with Glipper installed. This
still isn't a WORKING copy and paste function, but it's a HALF WORKING
workaround.
