Because the a selection done with the mouse when xterm-mouse-mode is
active is not available to X. It is only available to Emacs, so it is
possible to use the mouse to copy between 2 emacs windows running in
the same terminal frame, but X know nothing about the selection.
I did not realize it had this disadvantage. It is a serious one.
I think we should put the default back to off.
