Installing xfce4-terminal worked for me. Actually, based on someone else's post, I installed task-xfce-desktop, which brought in a whole slew of stuff, including xfce4-terminal, then purged xterm, the lightdm* stuff, and task-xfce-desktop itself, which has a dependency on lightdm. (I'm using xdm and don't want to use lightdm or even have it installed.) xfce4-terminal is now my default terminal emulator in the XFCE desktop environment. Shift+Ctrl+C copies and Shift+Ctrl+V pastes in xfce4-terminal. In most other applications, such as iceweasel, Ctrl+C copies and Ctrl+V pastes. That makes sense to require the Shift in the terminal emulator, since Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V need to retain their historic functions for terminals. (Of course, you can also copy and paste via the mouse and the action bar Edit menu.) I tried all sorts of stuff regarding .Xresources, as suggested by other posts, but nothing worked for me in that area. (That was while I was still using xterm, of course.) I couldn't find any documented options in xorg.conf for emulating a 3-button mouse with a 2-button mouse either. I remember that option from older versions of the X server. These days, input devices, such as keyboards and mice, are expected to be auto-detected. Thanks to all who participated in this thread. -- .''`.
