True.

I don't want them to be part of a word. Double-clicking on a character
that is not a word character should select this character only; ditto
when double-clicking on a word and extending the selection, e.g. in

  <elem>foo (bar)</elem>

double-clicking on "foo" and moving the mouse pointer to the right
until the right parenthesis should select "foo (bar)", not
"foo (bar)<".

I have gnome-terminal 2.14.1-1, which is the latest version in
unstable, and I still get the same problems.
