bug#17776: 24.3; bug? regression: xterm-mouse-mode does not work any more with rxvt-unicode

[Gregor Zattler]

xterm-mouse-mode used to work under rxvt-unicode but does not any more.
I'm not sure who ist to blame (emacs or rxvt-unicode).

How to reproduce:

start emacs like so:

urxvt -e emacs-snapshot -Q -nw --eval '(progn (xterm-mouse-mode 
1)(switch-to-buffer "*Messages*")(toggle-debug-on-error))'

then klick in the one window.  You'll see a backtrace etc.

I see:
- in *Messages*

Entering debugger...
[ is undefined
M is undefined
# is undefined
@ is undefined


- backtrace:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
  intern(nil)
  xterm-mouse--read-event-sequence-1000()
  xterm-mouse-event(nil)
  xterm-mouse-translate-1()
  xterm-mouse-translate(nil)


This happens with
rxvt-unicode (urxvt) v9.20 - released: 2014-04-26
options:
perl,xft,styles,combining,blink,iso14755,unicode3,encodings=eu+vn+jp+jp-ext+kr+zh+zh-ext,fade,transparent,tint,pixbuf,XIM,frills,selectionscrolling,wheel,slipwheel,smart-resize,cursorBlink,pointerBlank,scrollbars=plain+rxvt+NeXT+xterm


I git-bisected this:
