I can copy both with mouse select, and Ctrl+C. Copied with mouse
select, I can paste with mouse (for me, middle click). Copied with
Ctrl+C, I can paste with "Ctrl+Shift+P" which is the paste shortcut as
seen under the terminal Edit menu. I can also use "Paste Selection"
from that menu to paste what ever the mouse has selected, same as
middle click.

As far as I can see, Ctrl+V is not a paste shortcut for terminal,
although it may be for other applications.
I have verified this both from mousepad, and gedit. I think your just
using the wrong key combination or something.

p.s. Don't forget, copy and paste can be funny under linux. You have 2
"buffers". What ever is selected by the mouse at the current time, and
what has been copied to the clipboard buffer. They are separate,
although can appear to be the same, because you select some text,
press Ctrl+C, and the same text is in both buffers :p
