Yeah, I just built the kde3 beta and I had to try 3 times before I
realized that it wasn't getting put in the paste buffer anymore.
I couldn't just right-click, select "Copy Link Location", and then
paste the url in a terminal window with a middle-click, I had to
hit CTRL-V.

This is definitely a usability issue for me, I expect many others
will be tripped up as well.  If I'm using the mouse to copy to the
clipboard, I don't want to have to use a keyboard shortcut or go
to the Edit->Paste to paste in another window...

Just my $.02.
