       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.

In order to do this, we need some GUI expert from the Gnome community
to join this discussion, and possibly set up a small workgroup to work
towards this end.  I am saying this in order to give some ideas, but I
personally don't know anyone who fits that description.
