I have now enabled Xterm Mouse mode by default in xterm style terminal emulators, as requested. As I pointed out before, this is not without problems.
One of the worst kind of problems occurs when you click on the mode line. You get no tooltips or echo area messages to tell you what is going to happen, because, even with Xterm Mouse mode enabled, Emacs does not respond to mouse over. So basically, when you click on the mode line you have no idea what is going to happen. The main reason for wanting to click on the mode line is to resize the window. Should we not disable all the other fireworks in the mode line when we can not warn the user about them, that is, when not running under a window system? A basic problem with Xterm Mouse mode is that mouse clicks are enabled, but the usual tools to tell you that mouse clicks are going to do something special and what that is (mouse face and tooltips or echo area messages) are not.
