Actually, local testing here shows that the FIRST click of a window that
DOES NOT have the "focus" brings the window to the top but does NOT move
the terminal cursor to match the mouse pointer.  The SECOND click, however,
moves the terminal cursor to the mouse position.  I didn't see anything in
a preferences or terminal setup dialog, so I don't know if/how I set
this "functionality" originally.  Alternatively, clicking BETWEEN the on-
screen function keys does not move the mouse [which is, in essense, Roy's
suggestion -- anywhere except the actual "legal" screen positions for the
cursor will select the window without moving the cursor...]
