My workaround for this problem uses the input_pending() function to guess
whether the newline char comes from a paste operation or the <Return> key:

   !if (is_defined("x_server_vendor"))   % not needed in xjed
      setkey("newline_indent", "^M"); % correct mouse-insertion problem

with

   public define newline_indent()
   {
     if (input_pending(0))
        newline();
     else
        call("newline_and_indent");
   }


This has the advantage, that you do not need any special action or
keypress before the paste. It could err (to the side of not
auto-indenting) if you type faster than jed can process the input.
