It's worse than that, of course.  Different apps definitely treat this
differently.  X apps use left/right for mark and middle for
paste. Gnome apps use left for mark, middle for paste, and right for a
context menu.  And try copy-pasting from emacs into Mozilla:  the 98/2
ratio seems to be about what I see.

It's far worse than one person's code.  Even though the spin of the
article was (in the first half, at least) pretty negative, I can't
disagree with anything the quoted folks said.
