I'm using a Thinkpad USB Trackpoint keyboard, and when I try to scroll, using middle-click and the trackpoint, sometimes it performs a middle-click paste. I don't recall this ever happening with the built in keyboard on my laptop.
Is there a way to configure the middle "mouse" button, so it doesn't misinterpret middle click scrolling as a middle click paste?
Note:
I don't want to disable the middle mouse button. I want to be able to scroll.

Here is the Ubuntu Wiki entry on how to disable the middle mouse button. This should work on any system using X.
The above example does not disable scrolling; if you want to do that see here.
