Summary:

The extra replot in mouse.c was my attempt to handle "pause mouse"
in a terminal-independent fashion.  Without it there were indeed 
problems with term->waitforinput().

Petr points out that X11 is still the only terminal supporting
pause for mouse (I thought windows and/or os2 did also but I was
wrong).  So I will pull this code out of mouse.c and handle it directly
in x11.trm.  This avoids the replot, and introduces no new problems
that I can see.

It does mean, however, that equivalent code will be needed 
in other terminal drivers if and when they choose to support
pause for mouse.

Change made in CVS on 3 May 2004.
