ncurses is "only" using a click-style interface for GPM (no dragging). As I recall it, GPM also has some built-in behavior for select/paste which ncurses doesn't try to work around. > - xterm: the mouse icon stays the same as a normal xterm, one used for > selecting text.

I'm not sure why ncurses would behave different from gnome/konsole here. The description isn't clear (to me) though...
