(They paste primary with middle click). It's possible gtk 1.x is different, but I don't have any gtk 1.x apps handy to test... OTOH, the original xterm's shift-insert does paste primary. At least unless you set its "select to clipboard" option, which apparently implies "paste from clipboard" (but also makes xterm propagate the selection to the clipboard instead of primary as the name suggests).
