I recently removed unity and I'm using gnome session fallback. However, now my xterm window's don't have a menu when I click on the right mouse button. I don't really need the menu as long as someone can tell me the shortcut for copying selected text in an xterm. I've found that I can paste text into an xterm window with SHIFT-INSERT but I can't find out how to copy text from the xterm without the right-click menu.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi jdl2

My Xterminal has no menu regardless of desktop. I found the suggestion that middle clicking the mouse works, but not on my system.
