Liang -- Before continuing, are you sure there's no confusion about "primary" and "clipboard" selections in X11? Your trouble may come from being accustomed to using vim in a terminal (not an X virtual terminal) and then moving to using gvim alone (or, perhaps, vim in a virtual terminal in X11). What is getting pasted when you hit your middle button is not random; it is likely text you have highlighted (perhaps inadvertently) in another window.
Here's a decent reference on primary and clipboard selections in X11 (in this case, they refer to EMacs and XEmacs, but the general description of these different types of selections applies for Vim and Gvim as well): http://www.jwz.org/doc/x-cut-and-paste.html Your middle mouse button in an X11 application (like GVim) will access the "primary" (as opposed to "clipboard") selection. So if you've highlighted some text in one window and middle-click in GVim, you should expect that highlighted text to get pasted even if you didn't explicitly "copy" it anywhere. It sounds like you would prefer your middle mouse button to do the same thing as "+p but instead you're getting the result of "*p Is that correct? Can you try those two combinations and compare them to your mouse click?
