On my machine, if I go into /usr/bin and run xterm directly, THEN run mc 
(or mc -x) the mouse works properly. However
if I pass any parameters to xterm, such as -g 150x40 -e mc
then the mouse stops working and I get keycodes on the
mc command line.

I should note that I get into /usr/bin by running this small
script.

cd ~
xterm -g 153x40+150+20 -fn 10x20

I do this because I run rox-filer to put icons on the desktop
with Icewm.

Since this problem started, I have changed running xterm to
running lxterm (for a unicode env) and the problem has
disappeared.

The problem has been resolved but I don't understand what is happening 
or why.
