'course it does.  And like all good things, it's (and the word separator
character class) configured through X resources.

Settings below are what in my humble opinion (hah!) should be default.
Certainly make life more sane.

XTerm*on2Clicks:           word
XTerm*on3Clicks:           line
XTerm*on4Clicks:           group
XTerm*on5Clicks:           all

XTerm*scrollBar:                true
XTerm*VT100.charClass:          33:33,37:33,45-47:33,64:33
XTerm.VT100.background:         rgb:00/00/00
XTerm.VT100.foreground:         rgb:60/ff/60
XTerm*Scrollbar.background:     black
XTerm*Scrollbar.foreground:     white
XTerm*borderColor:              white
XTerm*multiScroll:              true

XTerm*scrollTtyOutput:          True
XTerm*scrollKey:                True

'fraid it can't do that.  You'll have to put up with ctrl-shift++/-
instead (at least, that seems to be how I've bound them).  Oh look at
that, my keyboard setup has broken since I upgraded to wheezy.  Both
keybindings appear as "go-smaller", but my xmodmap is quite hacked up, so
no one should be surprised.  Shows you how often I use it!

I wouldn't be surprised if it's configurable for that.

wmcliphist.   aw, no longer in debian.  I swear, software never improves.
