Just got to the last bit there where you mention the wiki and that's where I was going to say to check. Freevo doesn't natively support mouse navigation but there was someone who had posted to the wiki a patch that they had developed to allow use of a mouse. It was actually to allow freevo to be used with a touchscreen which was what they were using in a museum or somewhere like that. The touchscreen emulated a mouse hence the need for the mouse support. An imap search just found a posting in freevo-users from 2004 that doesn't look encouraging - see Re: Plans for mouse input? Wait, just found this - http://studio.kyperjokki.fi/engine/FreevoPointerInput. Doubt that diff will apply now though :) A google for 'freevo mouse patch' might help, patches welcome....
