Not seeing and have not seen the problem here.  I get the digest form of 
the list so I used x-paste for the author line and the subject to format 
this reply.  This is on my desktop (Gnome, nv video, "normal" mouse with 
scroll wheel).  I also checked on my laptop (Gnome, radeon video, 
synaptics touch pad) and it works fine there too.

Are you starting gpm and is it still running?  I vaguely remember that 
this is provided by the "text mouse."  You might see if you can 
highlight and paste without X.

Cheers,
Dave
