Ahh, X11 clipboard joys. Ok, ignore my previous mail. If you want
*authentic* clipboard middle mouse selection behavior, available to
other apps, add these three lines to your cream-user.vim:

  set guioptions+=a
  iunmap <MiddleMouse>
  vunmap <MiddleMouse>

Read :help x11-selection for the gory details. My previous mail
assumed the global clipboard "* for middle mouse action, but that's
quite deviant from what you were probably expecting.

I'll have to think about making these an option. Part of me wants to
be accommodating, the other part a usability fascist. ;) At the very
least, I'll add the above items to the FAQ unless there is a revolt.
