Should we not disable all the other fireworks in the mode line when we can not warn the user about them, that is, when not running under a window system? That is a good idea. For those features that don't work right, it is better if they fail in a clear way. The simplest way is to change xt-mouse to simply drop any events that are expected not to work right.
