    Probably, Emacs should use the same conventions as the Gnome
    applications.  Anyone knows if there is such a standard?

There is a good argument for this.  At the same time, it seems that
the current Emacs mouse commands are superior.

Perhaps GNOME should adapt its conventions to allow editors to work
the way Emacs does.
