Thanks Jeremy.
OK, so I switched on Emulate three button mouse in Preferences. I see
that it says "Hold Option and Command" while clicking to activate...."
So in the xterm, I copy text and hold option+command+1st (or middle)
mouse button and indeed it gets pasted. However, before it pastes the
text, it clears the screen. Is that how it's supposed to work? I can't
even scroll back up to see what's above what was pasted.
BTW - I did try using my middle button (which is the scrollwheel
button on my mouse) and nothing happened. Everything before the paste
disappears...
Sorry if you've already explained this before - I'm trying to search
through the archives to see if this has already been answered.

Ah. no. command-v pasting doesn't work. It doesn't do anything,
and it's not quite clear what it should be expected to do. Middle
click sends a middle click. The X server sends the middle click to
the application which then pastes the contents of the X11
"clipboard". You just want to middle click (not some fancy Logitech
mapping of a key press to command-v)

I have a Logitech mouse configured so that one of the buttons on
the left (Thumb Back Button) would paste. In Tiger's X11, I simply
configured the button with the assigned action: keystroke and
configured it with: v key and apple modifier key.
This no longer works on Leopard's X11. I think I assumed that's
what the middle click paste would do, but I guess I was wrong. Is
there a better way to configure a mouse button so that paste works?
I know that I can't use apple+v which is probably why my current
configuration fails.

Middle-click pasting was never broken... are you having problems
with emulated clicks or real clicks?

Hoping someone can help me here. Although I haven't updated any
of Jeremy's patches, I've been trying to keep up with messages on
this alias. I've updated to the latest security update released
yesterday (2008-002).
Jeremy, you mention that X11 should now have somewhere around
2.1.1 and 2.1.2 patches. So from looking at the xquartz page, I
see that the 3rd button copy/paste feature should be there.
However, it's still not working for me. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
-Sherry
