It's clearly undocumented :-), and it is dangerous. It's easy to
completely hose Epoch using it. Unfortunately, there's no better way
to keep the window title and buffer title coherent.

Not really. IMHO the key question is what to do with buttons that are
only partially in the cut region.

It's not a mouse event problem, but a display problem. The mouse
events do what they are supposed to, but the display doesn't update. I
thought we'd put a fix in for that in patch 2, but possibly not.

I would recommend using (ignore-event 'motion) (ignore-event 'button)
before and (resume-event 'motion) (resume-event 'button) afterwards.

This is difficult. Each buffer has a buffer local variable named
allowed-screens. The default buffer selection won't select a buffer
unless the screen is in the list in that variable.
