This interface exists since Emacs 20. Yes, but it is in emacs23 when the problem with gpm arises, hence my suggestion to document this somewhere in /usr/share/doc/emacs23. People not familiar with lisp and emacs internals (like myself) would be lost and will think this is a bug instead of a feature which may be disabled. In fact, I've had to search in the archived bug reports for emacs23 to know that I had to disable gpm-mouse-mode. The experience for the user is that cut and paste just stops working. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
