I've tried ctrl-C copying some text in the web browser and then ctrl-V pasting it in X-terminal but it doesn't work... am I doing something wrong or it is not possible to do this?

CTRL+V is not a shortcut to paste in terminal, and CTRL+C in terminal terminates an app.

On a desktop you have to hold Shift too.
On the N900 just click the title bar (menu) and click paste.

Isn't it also a common way to paste things in X to use the middle mouse button?

Yes, press the arrow cursor icon in the bottom left. That will switch off scrolling. Then you can select your text. The Copy option is in the menu.
