Also, it seems that xterm -xrm 'XTerm*VT100*translations: #override\nShift Ctrl <KeyPress> v:insert-selection(CLIPBOARD)\nShift Ctrl <KeyPress> c:select-set(CLIPBOARD)' works even with xterm 261-1 in debian squeeze. I'll definitely continue testing this but this looks promising :-)
thanks for the update (I guess it would be useful to document all of these things in the manpage...)
