Ctrl-V (or Shift-Insert) usually pastes the clipboard, while the
middle mouse button usually pastes the primary selection.

For xterm, you can change the behaviour with e.g.

*vt100.translations:	#override	\n\
  ~Ctrl ~Meta <Btn2Up>:	insert-selection(CLIPBOARD, PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0)

This will cause it to prefer the clipboard over the primary selection.

Tk supports setting the primary selection, but it's a bit more work
than using the clipboard (and, nowadays, probably less useful).
