Try to copy paste between Mozilla and OO, for example. Or try to find or use "paste as" between different applications.
Why, when someone mentions drag and drop, do people start talking about cut and paste? Cut and paste works fine on Linux - better than Windows in many cases. Drag and drop is different from cut and paste. Between KDE apps, or GNOME apps, it works fine. Going between applications of different types it sucks. You never know quite what is going to happen. This is one of the key things which Windows users expect to just work, but doesn't, which is why I mentioned it to the original poster. -- "...our desktop is falling behind stability-wise and feature wise to KDE ...when I went to Mexico in December to the facility where we launched gnome, they had all switched to KDE3." - Miguel de Icaza, March 2003
