Thomas,

Put this line in your "$HOME/.inputrc" file:

   "\M-[2~":   paste-from-clipboard    # Insert

The escape sequence generated by the "Insert" key happens to be the same 
for both the console and RXVT.

Note that readline's "past-from-clipboard" stops before the first newline 
in the clipboard.
