Try to use the middle mouse button to paste into  gnome-terminal.

Why on earth does the middle mouse button paste from one place, and right click -> paste uses another? Shouldn't there be one clipboard that is used by all?

under the "one true click to bind them" theory?

Philip, I do agree with you that it should be consistent across the entire platform. Unfortunately, human factors has not been the strong suit of those working with Linux systems (as a rule).

but we should not forget that people have given a lot of good information and for that, I am thankful. On the other hand, I've been using a kitchen knife to pry between the mouse buttons on my laptop and I haven't found a third mouse button yet but I'm going to dig until I reach the under side of my desk.
