There are two terminal modes regarding mouse: one when mouse is completely handled by a terminal emulator itself and one when terminal emulator only translates mouse events (wheel, presses) into escape sequences. Of course, modes are switched by passing terminal emulator some escape sequences. According to http://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html this is not all-or-nothing thing: you may choose which of the mouse events are handled by the terminal and which by the application. Search the referenced page for `(?i)mouse`.
