are you pointing to any specific problems you did encounter with the 
"copy and paste" interaction of GNUstep recently? I did spend quite some 
time on this a few weeks ago and would be interested in bug reports a

My apologise for this mail, if this was just general ranting, with no 
specific data to back it up.
