eye of gnome should support copying and pasting images. It can really be handy,
for instance when openoffice opens a word document with pictures inside, the
only way i could find to get that picture out of the document is to copy it to
the clipboard, then paste it in gimp.
for the average user it would be much nicer if the picture could simply be
pasted in eye of gnome.
but in general eye of gnome should copy & paste images, it's just a basic
functionnality in my opinion, now that we have a standard for it, let's use it
everywhere.
