The magic comes from the file "t-mouse.el" which is part of the gpm-package. The
file has been included in the emacs-package (revision 22.2) and slighly
modified. See the comments for details. In the package "emacs23-el
23+1-4ubuntu7" most of the goodies have been removed and the gpm-support of
emacs is really poor since then. The cure is to use the 22.2 sources.
