On Linux/Unix, pasting from the primary X selection is done with "*p
and pasting from the clipboard is done with "+p - presumably you're
running a Cygwin vim, since it works fine with Rxvt's PTYs, so I would
expect you to need "+p for pasting.  I can't test this, at present,
though, so you'll have to let me know if it works...
