using gnome is the simple Ctrl+T keyboard accelerator to open a terminal
with the same cwd as the directory shown in the file manager. That's a
time saver. Gnome forces me to use the mouse to open a terminal.

Shift Cntrol T for new tab, shift control N for new window....

> Another feature (this one from dtterm) that I miss as much is the
possibility to drag some text and drop it on the terminal window to have
it typed to the command line. In gnome I must mark the text and manage
to press both mouse buttons simultaneously (which I sometimes miss).

I take it you're emulating a 3 button mouse?  Normally this is highlight
w/ button 1 and paste w/ button 2...
