You are right.  gpm is 'A mouse server for the Linux console'.

This characteristic of X is a pain in gvim where it pastes at the copy
point instead of the last insertion point, unlike vim in a console,
where it pastes at the current insertion point.  i.e. in gvim, X moves
the current insertion point to the double click, while in a console the
insertion point remains where it was.  A big difference in efficiency
when editing, especially when doing quick variable name copies to avoid
typing.

This doesn't happen in an X term since there is only one insertion
point.  I just checked, and it pastes properly there.
