    The argument is like this: a lot of users ONLY use the mouse in an xterm
    to select text and then use mouse-2 to paste it in another
    xterm/another application. Not being able to do this makes the mouse
    not very useful, and the user would blame emacs for this. 

Why would they not be able to do this?
It isn't obvious.
