That *is* X behavior, by design. I don't know of any way to disable it. Under X, there's no separate keystroke combination required for cut'n'paste. You just swipe to copy, then hit the 2nd (middle) mouse button to paste. After doing this for about three minutes, any other method simply sucks. If you need to maintain separate paste buffers, this is possible, though klugy. There are several applications for managing your X clipboard. I've played with several, but not in any depth.
