I think you have to modify the shortcut (or run the command from a 
terminal) to add extra command-line options.

Eh? Mouse copy/paste in mintty is identical to xterm AFAIK... select = 
copy, middle button = paste. If you're in a mouse-using terminal app you 
have to hold down [shift] but that's the same in xterm, I think.

Re xemacs: fair enough. I mostly stick with emacs + xt-mouse because of 
slow/unreliable network connections to the servers I do most of my work on.
