And otherwise Midori is a very cool browser. :)
Well, to be serious, I'm also annoyed by this not-working "Ctrl+C"
story. Still, as somebody pointed out, one may use "Ctrl+Insert" or
"Ctrl+X" which seem to work most of the time.
As for the "interface roundness", as far as I know, Midori may be
compiled to use with either GTK2 or GTK3. The GTK2 interface looks more
"round", I'd say. So, you may try USE="-gtk3"
As for the bookmarking, it is also a looooong story, but the
developers seem to work on this. At least, I noticed a couple of
changes in bookmarks management for several recent releases.
To be short, Midori is indeed a problematic browser, but still it has
a nice (not all-inclusive, but exactly 'nice') set of features which
make it the most convenient for me at the moment... well, except for
that broken "Ctrl+C" thing...
