I was, a standard X11 version of copy and paste (the X11 clipboard only
handles text - err, by default ;) - Copy link location puts the text in
to the X11 clipboard *as well as* the desktop environment clipboard.

With Gnome terminal you can right click and use "paste" to get stuff out
of the clipboard. Alternatively, Shift-Insert will also paste the
content of the X11 clipboard...

For those without 3 button mice (no scroll wheel?! the wheel is a
button...) then (usually) 3 button emulation is turned on and so
clicking both the left and right buttons at the same time will do the
job.

Hope that clears a few things up,
