Please re-open this bug report.

(1) This is not documented in any of the documentation you've included
in the debian package.  Try it: cd /usr/doc/abuse;
zgrep -i MOUSE_TYPE *;

(2) If I set MOUSE_TYPE, then switch consoles, when I come back it has
forgotten about the environmental variable.  [I know you can't do
anything about this one except refer it on to crack dot com, but I'd
prefer you do this than I...]

Thanks,

What? What shell are you using? Enviornment variables should be saved, I
don't think that has anything to do w/abuse.
