I reported this bug 15+ months ago and I posted a fix (written by another
individual and posted to one of the GNOME mailing lists) 6+ months ago:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13485

We've been using the fix here for at least that long and I guess I use the
mouse to copy text more than most people because I get very frustrated when I'm
using a version of gnome-terminal without this patch.
