It would undoubtedly be possible to write some code that interprets whatever the center button originally does, and tells Linux that it is whatever Linux wants, but I'm not the one to do this.
It is probably simpler just to get an optical mouse or trackball and push the left and right buttons together to paste.
If you are using a two-button mouse, pressing left and right together works as a simulated "center click" on all Linux systems I have seen. However, in my opinion, a two button mouse is antiquated. Get one with a scroll wheel for the web and longer documents. The scroll wheel can also be pressed as a center button. This type of mouse is available everywhere and inexpensive. It will work with both scrolling and center clicking in Linux "out of the box." No rewiring or recoding needed.
