I've tried that, still no good.

I have found some ways that work, though. For all the following, I'm using
my hacked gpm
ncurses compiled after a ./configure --with-shared --with-gpm --with-develop
the untouched lynx binary, with LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to find the new libraries
versions that work:
ncurses-5.2.tar.gz
ncurses-5.3.tar.gz
These are both from http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/
The delay-till-keypress still occurs immediately after an fg, but once a key
has been pressed, subsequent mouse presses are processed immediately. Also,
with the original gpm, the exit-on-fg bug only happens in when the ^Z is
issued immediately after a previous fg, with no key presses in between.
versions that don't work:
ncurses-5.2.20020112a-7 (obtained from apt-get source ncurses)
ncurses-5.2.20020112a (without applying the debian a-7.diff.gz)
These have the delay-till-keypress bug at all times.
So it seems that something broke in the middle of the 5.2- releases, and was
put right again for the 5.3 release. Is that a correct understanding?

out with your thumb instead? And then really scrape around the back of the
socket with your thumbnail?
