Well, the cursor can logically be either at the end or at the beginning
of the pasted block. You can do what you want with a macro, I suppose, eg

  s = get_selection("any")
  replace_range($cursor, $cursor, s)

which you can then bind to a keystroke. (It'll beep if there is no
selection around.) With some X resource jiggerypokery you could invoke
it from a mouse event too.
