the problem with the default setting is that it makes mouse support in a TUI
environment nearly impossible without patching/recompiling the kernel. For
instance, adding mouse support to sysinstall would be easier if cut and
paste is delegated to the dialog utility (or other TUI environment) instead
of being implemented directly by syscons.

sysctl would be the perfect solution but I assumed it may be too big a
change for some people.
