On the contrary.  I find that Emacs-es with mouse support, so far,
don't support the mouse the same way, or as well as, the native
mouse support for terminal emulator windows.  E.g. I can't select
some text with the mouse and stuff it into another window because
the mouse clicks that would have done that get stuffed into the Emacs
input buffer, invoking Bog knows what lisp functions, but never
doing the same thing that any other window would do with 'em.
So I just learned to not click the mouse in the Emacs window.

(I'm running a Unipress Emacs with window support hacked in while I was
at Sun, and no source.  Happily, my binary was compiled for a Sun-2
monochrome display, and now that I run it on a color display it falls
back to using the terminal emulator, giving me real mouse support
finally!)
