Yeah I'm down with that idea, I didn't say give up.  I like the idea of 
only changing xterm, because the right click is so useful everywhere else 
you would not want to remap it globally...

Looking manpage for xterm I didn't see a resource, (there may be one not 
listed?) but there's an example that has some potential, but on a quick 
test here, it pastes after a right/left combination of clicks...

*VT100*translations:    #override \n\
               <Btn3Up>: insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n\

T test or refine the settings, you can drop similar snippets into 
~.Xresources and run 

$ xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources 

as your regular user and they take affect on next xterm opened.  The local 
Xresources file is usually read on login, but I think some display 
managers do bypass it.
