Turns out mouse was not set mouse=a... switching to mouse=a has solved
my problem... someone asked me earlier about that and I responded that
it was set mouse=a... Not sure how I arrived at that now... but a few
tests just now after : set mouse=a.

As you see from above... you were dead right to guess I didn't know
poop about it.

For the record.. I did report using standard xterm... not some
knockoff baloney like konsole or the like.
echo $TERM
xterm
I'm not sure how to determine what `term option'[s] might be set
to... I did post `:version information... but I don't see anything
about a term setting there.
Thanks for drumming it into me about mouse=a... I was really startled
pasting something into vim (while in normal mode and having it just work.
