Hi Gavin,
Thanks for having turned off the mouse mode by default in 6.1.
The new default mode fits well with all possible habits:
scroll through cursor key movements, scroll through mouse whell,
AND allow marking a region with mouse-left.
Thanks also for having documented the trick with Shift-mouse-left.

In version 6.0, in KDE konsole with TERM=xterm, when I try the recipe
mentioned by Eli
You can already do "M-x set-variable RET mouse RET Off RET".
it has no effect: Even after this operation, the mouse wheel scrolls
and the mouse-left key doesn't mark a region.
Similarly, in version 6.3 with TERM=xterm, in KDE konsole, when I try
M-x set-variable RET mouse RET normal-tracking RET
it has no effect: Even after this operation, the mouse wheel scrolls.
