Hey, we do things "right" when we finally do then ok ? :) :)

No, it works for all *active* vty's.

The problem here is that the vty's aren't there when before the
getty's are run. THe vty are dynamically allocated (to save space)
and so they are actually not there before they are opened the first
time (by the getty). This apparently effects the way the mousepointer
is handled. Oh well, I'll look at it...
