Re: Gnome Terminal, VIM & Wheel Mouse

[Xavier Bestel <xavier bestel free fr>]

OK, here is the tiny patch in question - could you push this so that it
doesn't waits too much before appearing in CVS and Ximian distribs
please ? I find this really useful - at least, scrolling in VIM with the
wheel !

What it does:

it generates "correct" button escape sequences for mouse wheel, e.g.
buttons 4 and 5. "correct" means the same as newer xterms, and tested
with VIM. It works very well, and doesn't seem to break anything.

Cheers,
