You referred to standard PC keyboards, not to standard IBM PC keyboards, 
although I admit that an IBM terminal is not a PC.  
I said nowhere that this bug was specific to gedit.  The controller part of X11 
UI is notoriously inconsistent: pressing Ctrl+Delete means "delete the next 
word" in Nautilus but "Delete to the end of line" in Firefox, and Ctrl+K works 
nowhere except in Emacs, to my great disappointment.  (It works in KDE but I 
have GNOME here.)  And what I should expect from pressing the middle mouse 
button remains a mystery to me; I cannot figure it out from the behaviour, 
except for the simplest case when text has just been marked in the same 
application, and I cannot find any relevant guide.  (I think there must be 
something in developers' documentation I do not have any reason to read.)  
Therefore I do not think you can invalidate this issue on conformance grounds.
