It is!!  So how do I change that setting so that right click is set to paste?

Is there anything in your XTerm*VT100.Translations that means 'right
mouse button'?
If I do go with xterm I'll read up on .Xresources, but in the mean
time I'm not seeing anything in your snippet that even remotely looks
like 'mouse button'

looks like xterm is my only other already installed option
$ dpkg --get-selections | grep term
ncurses-term                                    install
xfce4-terminal                                  install
xterm                                           install
