The ideal solution for me would be to detect more than X characters
received during the last, say, 100ms, and turn on paste then.

However, I have rebuilt the Fedora Core 6 test 1 RPMs --with-x=yes, and
that's a workable solution.  It's still annoying how clicking and selecting
text causes vim to move my cursor around and requires me to press escape
when I'm done selecting.  But I can try to remember to shift-select, which
works as I'd like.  A pain, but workable and gives me proper pasting.

I've submitted a but against FC6 core suggesting that they either build the
non-gvim version with X enabled, or provide a third option in the vim-x11
package like "xvim", which is text mode but with X enabled.

Not really, but thanks for the pointer.  I'm not much of a key mapping
person.  Typing ":set paste" or ":set nopaste" is no terrible burden, so
that's what I used to do when I had to paste indented text.

Thanks,
Sean
