Did you try to use <Shift> + <left mouse button> to copy and <Shift> + <middle mouse button> to paste? I often run Midnight Commander within xterm and whithout Shift, nothing happens at all (mc grabs mouse commands for its own needs). Shift + mouse button just became a habit for me, because I just so often need to copy and paste between xterm windows...
