Disabling broken behaviour by default is a good thing. It
would be a GTK+ specific XSetting, which would only be
disabled by default based on your XSettings manager. If
you use gnome-settings-daemon, then it would be disabled
by default.
The people that paste their passwords to IRC will thank us.
What a bunch of tools.
I would even go as far as to disable middle mouse
paste without exposing any GUI option for this [...]
A hardcore unix person will shout and scream if we
try to remove it, yet it is flawed. We should remove
it and use a one, predictable way of copy & pasting.And that raises the old issue of 'experts' with the interface wanting more control.
I actually like Gnome Shell, but I can see how a decision making process that depends on what one developer thinks is good for users may have problems in the longer term...
