I agree, and even advocate using command line for such stuff. There are 
however exceptions, for example, when copying files from a CDROM: a single 
click will mount the disk and open it in Konqueror, and you can copy-paste 
files to another Konqueror window. Now, that's exactly how I used to do my 
copy-paste.

Apparently, if I already have a running instance of Konqueror, when I click on 
CDROM icon, the window that opens is another window of the running instance, 
not a separate instance. So, copy-paste becomes possible between the CDROM 
window and the window that has already been opened.

Somebody at KDE - or SuSE - has given it thought. In any case, if someone 
wants to have copy-paste enabled between any of Konqueror windows on their 
desktop, the desired command line switch must be somewhere around that cdrom 
icon. This switch can be used in other menu/panel entries calling Konqueror.
