I can turn it off using xinput to turn off the middle button, but all
methods I've tired to make it stick, including writing a script to be
called upon KDE start up, either don't work, or work sporatically and I
find out when code would compile or run because some (seemingly) random
string or characters got pasted into the code.
There is nothing in system-settings - input-devices - mouse. Yet there MUST
be a way to define mouse actions so that pressing the middle mouse button
does not paste in to my workspace.
Can someone pleas shed some light on how to modify middle mouse button
functionality?

if you just right click on your desktop, and go into settings, there's a
"mouse actions" tab/section, if you turn paste off in there, does that help?

I tried deleting the entry for middle button and changing it to some other action. No change. The middle button still pastes to apps.
I might mention that I mostly use Quanta for development, but this happens in Konsole and other purely KDE 4 apps as well.
So far the only way to stop the middle button from pasting into apps is to run xinput set-button-map "Logitech USB Optical Mouse" 1 0 3. Then if I unplug the mouse that setting get reset.
It is interesting that I also have a Logitech wireless that the middle button doesn't cause the clip board to be pasted into apps. And button 2 is enabled.
