Bug Description

In some audio players (xmms, amarok) you can insert songs/directories easily by highlighting the file or directory and middle clicking into the playlist area. This will then insert the file or recursively insert the files in the directory.\

Oh, never heard of this. Interesting idea, but there may be some usability concerns since no normal GTK app does this, as far as I can tell.

Like I said, it is the behavior in amarok, xmms. Also middle-click is a
'paste' for many text based applications (ie. gnome-terminal, oowriter,
etc.)

There’s no real need for this function which is barely used nowadays. DnD should do the job just fine.
