I suppose you do not use gvim to copy and paste but instead rely on native X-Windows facilities. In fact Middle-Click is what pastes in X by default (left button selects).

I suppose the difference in the part with the reverse video and the underlined part is just the standout mode of the terminal. To confirm this try opening another terminal and copy/select something from there. It should use reverse video to signify the selection.

I hope this helps.

wxcopy

wxcopy(1x)																wxcopy(1x)

NAME

       wxcopy - copy stdin or file into cutbuffer

SYNOPSIS

       wxcopy [options] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       wxcopy  copies  stdin  or filename into the cutbuffer. If no cutbuffer is specified, the data will be copied into cutbuffer 0 and the other
       cutbuffers will be rotated, if present.	If a cutbuffer is specified, the data is copied into that cutbuffer, and no rotation of buffers is
       performed.

OPTIONS

       -cutbuffer number
	      Specifies the number of the cutbuffer to copy data to.

       -display display-name
	      The data will be copied in the cutbuffers of the specified display/screen.

       -nolimit
	      Makes the normal 64kb limit check not to be performed, making the buffer attempt to grow to whatever size is required.

       -clearselection
	      Clears the PRIMARY selection owner. In practice it means that when you try to paste the data with the middle mouse button (for exam-
	      ple) it will paste the data from cut buffer 0, instead of any eventually existing mouse selection.
