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.
You know, has anyone ever actually done a ps -auxf or similar, and see if these other windows are, in fact, child processes from the main one that got started? That could easily explain the problem: copy-paste would only work between members of the process group. Thanks Donavan Pantke
