xterm: select and paste query

[provinsd@atco-8.ensu.ucalgary.ca (Dean Allen Provins)]

Hello:

I recently installed Debian 2.0 from the Cheapbytes CD (July 21 record
date).  After the usual 'monkeying around', I got X up and running,
using my favourite windowing system - OpenLook (virtual) Window
Manager (olvwm).

I observed two differences from what I expected:  firstly, 'xterm'
cut and paste no longer worked (selection seems functional, but I
can't paste); and secondly, the 6 xterm windows that I 'opened' via the
'.openwin-init' file all appeared in the same (lower left hand) virtual
window - even though the geometry specifications indicated that they
should be distributed one per virtual window.

With respect to the individual xterm windows, 'mouse button' -
'control key' sequences didn't bring up the menu I expected.  For
example, there was no reverse video option, nor a Tek window option
(something I never used, but was always there).

If you have any idea what I may be doing wrong (I expect that it is
some configuration file, but which), please advise.

Thanks,

Dean
