ACK. And there is no clipboard.

ACK. And there is the clipboard. Whoever wants to can use the  
clipboard instead.

NACK. I would stay on the windows side of life. ;-) There everyone is  
used to use paste for pasting everything in the current location.  
However, who wants to paste objects on several locations like Michael  
suggests can use the clipboard.

Good idea. Good luck then... ;-)

Another note to what Jan said about clearing the clipboard. I would  
implement this in the windows way, too. That means, copying or pasting  
overwrites the clipboard and pasting does not clear it. Instead, using  
the clipboard an additional button "Paste and remove from clipboard"  
could be helpful.

Gruss,
