You get get xterm to use the CLIPBOARD with x resources something like:

XTerm.vt100.translations:    #override \n\
               ~Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>: insert-selection(PRIMARY, 
CUT_BUFFER0) \n\
               Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>:  insert-selection(CLIPBOARD, 
CUT_BUFFER1) \n\
               <BtnUp>:       select-end(PRIMARY, CLIPBOARD, 
CUT_BUFFER0, CUT_BUFFER1) \n\
               Ctrl Shift <KeyPress> Y: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD, 
CUT_BUFFER1)

Anybody know if the same thing is also possible for rxvt? xterm has some 
bugs in that I rather avoid.

Thanks.
