No it's not, it's a defect in the way gpm hands the mouse to svgalib. ie,
it doesn't unless svgalib goes into graphics mode. Mercury oughtta fix

it will cooperate with gpm just fine!

Techical solutions are not a matter of voting. Two legislations in the US
states almost decided that the value of Pi be 3.14, exactly. Popular vote
does not make for a correct solution.
