xterm's had (since #209) a feature selectable by menu (control/middle-mouse, "Select to Clipboard") which makes it copy the selection to the clipboard to accommodate non-ICCM clients such as Mozilla/etc. In #328, I added a new menu entry (control/right-mouse "Allow Mouse Ops"), to suppress the application's mouse-mode altogether (which comes in handy with XQuartz, which has persistent problems acquiring the selection anyway: no shifting needed to just select/paste). However, XQuartz comes with patch #326; MacPorts has #330. Neither is current: #331 came out at the end of December. For reference - https://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.log.html -- Thomas E.
