Taken me a while, but I've run lxde,xfce and gnome. paint and paste 
fails in all of them, in all apps, including the various terminals.

Messed with xinput, but nothing seemed odd, though this is way beyond my 
skill level,

xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse               	id=12	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                   	id=3	[master keyboard (2)]
...........

xinput get-button-map 4
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

xinput get-button-map 12
1 2 3 4 5 6 7


and using xev, here's the output joint clicking on the xev square:

I'd file a bug, but I have no clue under what heading.

I keep hoping there's some obvious setting I've messed up.
