Do you have "Emulate three button mouse" activated in the X11 Preferences? Without this, you won't be able to paste into xterm. [...] cmd-v won't work in xterm (and never has, AFAIK). Also, there is no "paste" item in the Edit menu. You *must* use middle-click to paste into xterm. I don't think there is a keyboard method to do it.
Several terminals support Shift-Insert for paste, and it's my preferred method; haven't tried it with xterm (I'm an rxvt-unicode guy myself). Of course, the Mac has no Insert key and I haven't yet got to trying xmodmap fu to give it one - I'm thinking about using repurposing Shift-Return if that's possible. (This might be stupid; in a former life I fled from Konsole to Gnome-Terminal because I have a bad habit of pressing Shift-Return instead of Return by accident, and Konsole ignored that...)
