Re: gnome-terminal

[Gregory Hosler <gregory hosler eno ericsson se>]

single click and backwards drag works fine. it's the double click (which does
word selection) that acts differently. double click and dragging will to
selection by word, either forward or backwards. In an Xterm, this action
includes the initially clicked word, in both directions. in gnome-terminal in
the reverse case it does not include the initial word.

  If each of us have one object, and we exchange them,
     then each of us still has one object.
  If each of us have one idea,   and we exchange them,
     then each of us now has two ideas.
