Terminal application should leave standard hotkeys for applications 
running in terminals. It is the reason why modern terminals use 
[Ctrl+Shift+c] and [Ctrl+Shift+v] instead of conventional [Ctrl+c] and 
[Ctrl+v]. That is why I am against idea of adding [Ctrl+Insert] to xterm 
bindings.

In Emacs C-<insert> is bound to `kill-ring-save'.

My impression, it was a decision to support only single storage for 
handling selection. I like that it was changed.
