Solution, no .. answer, yes - the Intellipoint software is obviously 
installed on the Windows box, and its functionality does not carry over 
the VNC connection, and therefore your middle click doesn't translate as 
you're expecting to on the UNIX box. However, if you VNC'd in the 
reverse direction, a middle click coming from the UNIX box would become 
a paste because the interpretation of middle-click-means-paste happens 
only on the Windows box.
