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.
