Is there something I can try to diagnose what's going on? The mouse
seems to work in `htop`, which appears to use the same ncurses library.

TERM=xterm-color seems to work for me after trying again.
xterm and xterm-256color seem to have a broken mouse.

On Guix, the terminfo is stored like this:

env|grep TERMINFO
TERMINFO_DIRS=/home/timmy/.guix-profile/share/terminfo:/home/timmy/.guix-profile/share/terminfo


ls -l /home/timmy/.guix-profile/share/terminfo/f/foot
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 77 Dec 31  1969 /home/timmy/.guix-profile/share/terminfo/f/foot -> /gnu/store/ph72n1rhg92ydk7v7j76vjaalcmq66ai-foot-1.16.2/share/terminfo/f/foot

I was going to try this but Guix makes the global directories read-only
and it appears the user local one is only searched if the global one
doesn't exist.
