I'm not claiming it works. I'm claiming that there's no good reason why it shouldn't work, so if it doesn't work it's a bug. We should remove HAVE_MOUSE and fix any breakage that might ensue (but since Emacs works fine under xterm with xterm-mouse-mode disabled, I don't expect too much breakage at least under GNU/Linux).
