From /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/rxvt-20050409.README
================
How to Insert/Paste:

Use the middle mouse button, Shift-Insert, or Shift-Left-Click.

If you have a two button mouse, check your control panel to see
if the mouse can be configured to emulate a middle button by
pressing both buttons simultaneously.
================

Also, how do you start rxvt?  What is your command-line?
The only difference I see in our cygcheck output is that your TERM is
'xterm' and mine is 'rxvt-cygwin-native' which I set in the
command-line to run rxvt in my batch file.
rxvt -geometry 120x50 -bg black -fg white -fn "Lucida ConsoleP-12" -sr
-sl 5000 -tn rxvt-cygwin-native -e bash --login -i
That's what I use.

Also, other brighter minds probably have much better insight in to
your problem but have not yet responded.
