Mouse doesn't works in screen

[André Machado]

Binary package hint: screen

Using screen, mouse support in console via gpm is lost.

In gnome-terminal, mouse support can be enabled in screen by type in screen terminal:

TERM=xterm

And this only works for applications opened after this line typing. In pure console, there is no way to do mouse works. I heard that this can be a bug with this screen version and newer versions can solve this problem, but I don't have certainty. Please verify.

This may be fixed upstream, see this commit:

While there were quite some mouse mode fixes upstream since the last Debian package, gpm mouse clicks still seem not recognized.
