No, but I don't think I need to because selection works okay in an xterm. I.e.
when I click-drag the left mouse button inside an xterm the selection stays
active just fine as long as I hold down the mouse button. But when I go to
some webpage inside Opera and try to select text, the selection aborts and
starts reselecting right away. Same on the console. I could swear this used to
work before.
