* Calculate good fallbacks for activities that fail to provide any of the above items. '''(tomeu)'''

* We really need to support a direct "paste" action on clipping items, which poses an implementation challenge. It's important, however, to make this action work in our "object oriented" environment.

* We should have secondary option for paste-and-remove (option-ctrl-v) on the paste button.

* We should have secondary option for copy-and-erase (ctrl-x) on the copy button, to handle the action usually known as "cut".

* The clipboard should support drag'n'drop reordering of clippings, both to make a series of paste-and-removes occur in a desired order, and to allow one to move clippings back to the top, so they don't fall off the bottom as more are made.
