Yep, looks like this is the result of my fix in -5, partially reverting
an upstream mouse-related patch in order to make wesnoth work.

Happily, however, some testing (using fvwm) suggests that reverting the
remaining portion of that upstream patch is enough to make both wesnoth
and openttd work, at least in a brief test of each on my laptop.

I've attached a new patch to this mail and uploaded pre-built amd64
binaries to http://alioth.debian.org/~adsb/sdl1.2/. Any testing of those
would be appreciated, as I'd like to finally get an updated libsdl1.2
(and the packages blocked behind it) in to testing.

Regards,

Adam
