Since forever, gpm was this code's only user, and it overrides the table on start so the default was never seen -- until Bill Allombert's "consolation" came in. The in-kernel set is "A-Za-z0-9_" which fails to catch typical file names, etc. Let's change this to gpm's conservative default, ie "-A-Za-z0-9_./"; most terminals include more, for example xfce4-terminal has "-A-Za-z0-9,./?%&#:_=+@~".
