Dear Bobby,

You may want to change the setting of EmulateWheelTimeout to a smaller 
value. [Note - it is broken in some versions of X]

However, the middle-paste is meant to be like that. Assuming you have a 
newer Thinkpad with 3 mouse buttons in a line (made since about 2002),
it allows you to have both scrolling and middle-click.

As for firefox, paste -> load url is really a bug, not a feature. Open 
"about:config", and set
  middlemouse.contentLoadURL = false.
While you are at it, set:
  keyword.URL = http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&q=


Best wishes,

Richard
