Another limitation is that pressing the middle button will only paste
text that is currently selected in the Terminal.app window, with X11
pressing the middle button pastes whatever text was last selected. If
you select some text and then click off it before you press the middle
button the paste won't work. So it's not exactly the same behavior, but
I do agree it's a pretty cool little addition to the terminal app :-).
