Also, when I try to fix this I get a cascade of errors about 
x11_update_key_box and toggling something or other.  As a temporary 
measure, I selectively went through and commented out a dozen locations 
with "#ifdef USE_MOUSE".  Eventually it compiled.

I also notice that, as far as the terminal, it seems that when the mouse 
is used, the first terminal function called is this one:

int  qt_waitforinput(int)
{
std::cout << "foo16";
exit(0);
}

Shouldn't it be qt_init() that is called first?  I looked at this 
because I'm experimenting with the Qt terminal and if the wrong value 
happens to be returned for qt_waitforinput() gnuplot goes into an 
infinite loop spitting out the same character.  I wouldn't worry about 
that part of it, because this is an experimental state, but I'm just 
curious why term_init() isn't the first thing called.  If the idea is 
that the mouse can generate something in waitforinput(), shouldn't the 
mouse be valid first before waiting on input?
