[xubuntu-users] Double paste using middle mouse button

[Rob Ward]

Is not the middle button programmed different? That is, it can copy and 
paste without the CTRL-C to initiate the copy, just high lighting 
(selecting), repositioning the cursor, and pressing the middle button 
causes a copy and paste..  I had it messing up my Python Editor until I 
added some extra code to kill that function.

Worth a look?
