    I think that it's up to the desktop env (gnome/kde) to define
    the standard bindkeys. Even if MS is not the company we love,
    they did an interesting (but not complete) job in the definition 
    of their standard keybindings. Using keyboard is simple and (with
    some practice) rather intuitive.

    Yours, [and please do not flame me when I say something about
    MS, thanks :)]
