I have been using it routinely.
The only problems I notice are that=20
(1) You must do a manual replot after resizing the terminal
    (else the mouse coords are wrong among other things)
(2) I have to hack the source to make it ignore 'q'
    We've got to come up with an equivalent to the ctrlq X-resource

On a related topic, are you happy with the state of the
"Bind <space> to builtin_raise in mouse.c" patchset?
If so, let's commit it to CVS.

I'd rather keep the PNG icons, and think about generalizing the
mechanism so that users can configure their own new buttons and
supply an icon to go with it.
