Is there a clipboard tool in Gnome? I had similar problems (not only in
gvim) on my Linux system with KDE desktop, and klipper (the KDE
clipboard tool) was a great help.
In Vim, the X selection (for middle-mouse pasting) is supposed to be the
* (star) register. Try instead
nnoremap <MiddleMouse> "*p
inoremap <MiddleMouse> <C-R>*
Remember that on X11 systems, <MiddleMouse> and "Edit => Paste" don't
use the same register: the former (X-selection) is the * (star)
register, the latter (X-clipboard) is the + (plus) register.
Best regards,
Tony.
