Anyway, how do I make it so that unformatted text is pasted with the
middle mouse button?


Hi :)
It might be possible to do that at the OS level.  Which OS are you using; a 
Windows, Ubuntu, another gnu&linux, Bsd or Mac?  Usually the middle button or 
clicking on the scroll wheel, is called the 3rd mouse button.

Usually, the middle mouse button pastes. I´ve changed this default[1],
but that isn´t relevant here.

Pasting with the mouse button designated for pasting[2] works just
fine. Only LO screws it up because you cannot change its default way of
pasting. Or can you?


[1]: If you care (for a Logitech Trackman Marble FX):

,---- [ /etc/X11/xorg.conf ]
| [...]
| Section "InputDevice"
|     Identifier     "Mouse0"
|     Driver         "mouse"

[2]: Afair it´s button 8, but it´s been a while since I set it up, so
     I´m not sure which one it was. --- Hmm, looking at it, I probably
     don´t need to change the button map when I change it in xorg.conf
     to button 3 ...
