--- Comment #31 from Zak McKracken <Zak.McKracken at gmx.de> ---
One more remark:

I think it's slightly misleading to call the feature "paste clipboard" because
it's not inserting the clipboard but the mouse buffer.

Test:
* select some text, press ctrl+c
* select some other text with the mouse
* place the text cursor somewhere, hit ctrl+v
* middle-click somewhere else

==> they are two separate tools, and this is how it should be on Linux: The
mouse buffer (select/insert) and the clipboard (copy/paste) are separate and
can have different contents. I also typically use them for different tasks.

I'd therefore suggest renaming the preference to "insert mouse buffer" or
similar, to prevent users from making false assumptions (as I did until
recently...) and reduce misunderstandings among devs/users about what the
function should/should not do.
