 If you actually want that behaviour (which breaks a bunch of progs that use
^v for other things), you can set it up for xterms by binding insert() to ^V
using X resources.  (This would only change text programs that run in the
xterm.)  Or, you could use xkeycaps to set up your keyboard to send an
Insert keysym when you press control-v.
