Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how the proposed changes
cause Fselect_frame to be called fore any display type.

Can we do this without introducing multiple return points?  if nothing
else, that makes it harder to assess correctness and harder to debug
the code.

The additional HAVE_WINDOW_SYSTEM condition is because
term_mouse_moveto is conditioned the same on term.c?  If so, I think
we should remove the HAVE_WINDOW_SYSTEM part there as well: there's no
reason why a --with-x build couldn't also support GPM.

Thanks.
