I imagine that the above posts and ED have answered your question but I am sure that a simple cut n paste of files, or text, etc in XFCE is easily done via windows type shortcut keys i.e Ctrl-X-C-V or via a right click on the item you wish to cut, choose cut from the drop down menu and then paste it via a right click in the location you want. I am sans pandora also so cant check.
TOPICS: mouse pasting, Pandora's python, and a better FS for my flash.
Actually, seeing as what I wanted was the direct equivalent of my mouse's middle-click, well, saying that I got what I wanted can be argued. Well, maybe I have, by learning that this hasn't been catered to by the OP team, and that I have to research this myself, and come up with my own answer. That's an answer of a kind, I suppose, and way better than nothing.
NOTE Pandora's broken python
I wanted to get Calibre (the python-ish book reader application) working on Pandora, but Calibre's python setup.py fails to even load. There turns out to be several missing libraries in my preinstalled Python. I checked with the exact same version of Python (2.6.2) on my FreeBSD host, and "import platform" can be reliably used (I believe) as a sentinel, to prove whether the Python's library is working right or not. "import platform" should definitely work for any good Python. I downloaded the sources for Python-2.6.2, loaded up a ton of Python extensions, and re-installed python. The only part I had problems with was in getting sqlite3 to build, so if (as I think should happen, immediately) the OP team decides to rebuild the pre-installed python, try really hard to get sqlite working. I can get it to compile, but there's a missing symbol in config.o (init_sqlite3) and I can't track it down anywhere, so I don't support sqlite. As far as Calibre is concerned, I'm still installing the list of required dependencies.
Oh, I'm using /usr/local to install new things. This works fine with using ldconfig and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and I really like having locally installed stuff be separate. I know this isn't a regular Linux custom, but I come from a BSD-ish background.
Lastly, developing as much as I have, I keep on having dirty unmounts on my flash, which is ext2-formatted. I need to change this to a filesystem that is less hurt by dirty unmounts (like a journaling FS, like maybe ext3). I haven't really followed FS development on Pandora, could someone please give me a good recommendation for a better FS to use on my flash (32G)? Isn't there something newer/better and Pandora-tested, than just ext3?
