better would be the other way around (make rio more
like acme). it's quite deliberate that the two chords are
inverses. from the man page:

          Several operations are bound to multiple-button actions.
          After selecting text, with button 1 still down, pressing
          button 2 executes Cut and button 3 executes Paste.  After
          clicking one button, the other undoes the first; thus (while
          holding down button 1) 2 followed by 3 is a Snarf that
          leaves the file undirtied; 3 followed by 2 is a no-op.

mind you, there is still some odd behaviour in there that i've been
unable to reproduce consistently - trying this out, several times i
managed to get to a situation where the file was changed within acme,
but an Undo wouldn't get me out of it.
