In what sense is middle button functionality working?  I thought the only 
middle putton functionality is to paste.  As with everyone else, I do it all 
the time.  Open two shells (xterm, gnome-terminal, konsole, it doesn't 
matter) and run vi.  In one shell select with button 1.  In the other vi, go 
into insert mode and then use middle button to paste.  What other 
functionality is there?

Does it work without vi involved?  Can you cut and past to the command line?
